The Unidade Local de Saúde do Alentejo Central (ULSAC) has taken steps to address radiotherapy service gaps in the Alentejo region. Following the suspension of treatments in Évora on May 31 due to the replacement of linear accelerators, the health unit launched a public tender worth approximately 1.326 million euros. This six-month contract aims to secure private radiotherapy services for oncology patients while the local unit remains inactive.

To support long-term modernization, the Alentejo 2030 Regional Program has allocated over 1 million euros for the acquisition and installation of hospital equipment at the Hospital Central do Alentejo in Évora. This funding, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, is intended to improve diagnostic and treatment capabilities to meet increasing healthcare demands and an aging population.
