The obstetric and gynecological emergency service/birthing block at Barreiro hospital, which was due to reopen today, will remain closed until 08:00 on Thursday, according to the Local Health Unit.
The Arco Ribeirinho Local Health Unit (ULSAR), which is part of the Barreiro/Montijo hospital and whose catchment areas include the municipalities of Alcochete, Barreiro, Moita and Montijo and a total of 236,000 users, announced on its Facebook page that the obstetric and gynecological emergency room/birthing center will remain closed until Thursday, without giving any further explanation.
According to a decision by the Executive Board of the National Health Service, the obstetric and gynecological emergency room/birthing center closed at 08:00 on March 4 and was due to reopen today from 08:00.
In the notice, ULSAR advises pregnant women to contact SNS 24 (808242424) before going to hospital or to call 112 in emergency situations.
The same thing happened in February.
Lusa questioned ULSAR about the reasons for extending the closure, but has so far received no reply.
At the beginning of the year, the Executive Board announced the operating plan for these services, having determined that in the Setúbal Peninsula the delivery room at the Almada-Seixal Local Health Unit (ULS) (Garcia de Orta Hospital) will close at weekends (Saturday and Sunday), while the delivery rooms at the Arco Ribeirinho ULS (Barreiro-Montijo Hospital) and the Arrábida ULS (Setúbal Hospital Center) will maintain their temporary and rotating suspensions.

At the Local Health Unit (ULS) of Almada-Seixal (Hospital Garcia de Orta), the service is open, closing only at weekends.
