In a statement marking the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, the health unit reports that its three emergency departments -- general and multipurpose at the São José Hospital; pediatric at the Dona Estefânia Hospital; and Gynecological and Obstetric, at the Alfredo da Costa Maternity -- receive "the largest migrant population residing in Portugal".
The list of foreign nationalities that most accessed the emergency services is led by Brazil (26.6%), followed by Bangladesh (8.1%), Nepal (6.9%), some of the African Countries of Official Portuguese Language (PALOP), such as Angola (4.9%), Guinea-Bissau (4.4%), São Tomé and Príncipe (4.1%) or Cape Verde (3.9%), followed by France (3.3%), Italy (3%), India (2.7%), Spain (2.6%) and Germany (2.5%).
"Of the total nationalities represented, around 80 register less than 10 citizens assisted", the statement said.
ULS São José emphasizes that "it seeks to implement inclusive and innovative practices that respect the diversity of the citizens it serves, within the scope of their cultural, spiritual, religious and social specificities, and always promoting the safety of care for citizens and professionals", recalling that it signed the Portuguese Charter for Diversity and Inclusion in 2018, "having been the first public hospital organization to join this partnership".
"Since then, it has carried out sustained work with external interlocutors close to the communities that most frequently use its health units", says ULS São José, which points to partnerships with embassies and associations to solve communication problems and allow the treatment of patients, as well as the existence of a mediator for the gypsy community since 2022, with intervention in the eight hospital units of ULS São José.
