Healthcare developments in Portugal and Lusophone Africa have focused on infrastructure, education, and digital innovation.

In Portugal, efforts have transitioned from physical infrastructure improvements, such as the renovation of the Lourinhã Health Center via the Recovery and Resilience Plan, to a strategic focus on digital transformation. Recent discussions at the University of Lisbon’s Faculty of Medicine emphasized the integration of Artificial Intelligence and digital clinical documentation to enhance the National Health Service.

In Africa, developments include the planned completion of the Luanda Oncology Hospital in Angola by mid-2027, which aims to provide advanced services like robotic surgery and nuclear medicine. Meanwhile, in Mozambique, medical students from the Catholic University of Mozambique are engaging in rural internship programs across the Sofala province to gain experience in local epidemiological and social realities.
