🎙️ Saúde em Perspetiva – Debates claros sobre decisões difíceis

No oitavo e último episódio desta primeira temporada de Saúde em Perspetiva – Debates claros sobre decisões difíceis, abordamos um tema central no debate sobre o futuro da saúde em Portugal: as Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPP).

Durante muito tempo, o debate sobre as PPP na saúde tem sido marcado pela oposição entre gestão pública e privada. No entanto, a questão não se esgota na natureza de quem presta os cuidados: passa também pela forma como os serviços são organizados, pelos compromissos assumidos e pela capacidade de avaliar o que realmente funciona.

Num contexto em que se procura conciliar a sustentabilidade do SNS com a capacidade de resposta às necessidades da população, que critérios devem orientar estas escolhas? O que podemos aprender com as experiências anteriores? E como garantir que a organização dos cuidados se traduz em melhores resultados em saúde?

A conversa é moderada por Hélia Bernardo (Responsável pela Comunicação de Ciência, Nova School of Business and Economics) e conta com Pedro Pita Barros (Professor Catedrático BPI | Fundação "la Caixa" de Economia da Saúde, Nova School of Business and Economics) e Diogo Nogueira Leite (Professor Auxiliar Convidado na Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto e Investigador Visitante do Health Economics & Management Knowledge Center, Nova School of Business and Economics).

📢 Temos uma nova Nota da Nova!

Estamos a identif**ar e a acompanhar as necessidades de saúde mental de quem se torna mãe ou pai?

Nesta reflexão, Ana Rita Santos analisa as lacunas na identif**ação e no acompanhamento da saúde mental perinatal em Portugal, defendendo respostas que incluam não só as mães, mas também os outros progenitores.

📊 Num programa realizado em Portugal, 10,2% das mulheres rastreadas apresentaram resultados positivos para depressão, mas apenas 51,8% aceitaram a referenciação proposta. Noutro estudo, 79,8% das participantes com sintomas de depressão perinatal não estavam a receber tratamento.
👨‍👩‍👧 A saúde mental dos pais também importa: estima-se que 8,4% dos homens apresentem depressão durante a gravidez ou no primeiro ano após o nascimento da criança. Ainda assim, continuam frequentemente fora das respostas dos serviços de saúde.
🏥 Portugal já conta com iniciativas como o projeto MATTER e o programa Be a Mom, mas continua a faltar uma resposta nacional estruturada que articule o rastreio, a referenciação e o acompanhamento clínico.

👉 Uma reflexão sobre a importância de identif**ar precocemente as dificuldades de saúde mental de mães e pais e garantir que ninguém f**a sem o apoio de que precisa.

No nono episódio, falamos sobre 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 e o papel da tecnologia na transformação dos cuidados de saúde.

De aplicações digitais a novas formas de prestação de cuidados, a tecnologia está a abrir novas possibilidades na área da saúde. Mas como podemos integrar estas soluções nos sistemas de saúde? Que desafios colocam em termos de regulação e como podem contribuir para uma prestação de cuidados mais eficiente?

A conversa passa também pela Sword Health, um exemplo português na área da saúde digital, e pelos desafios que os sistemas públicos e privados enfrentam na integração destas novas soluções.

O episódio conta com Diogo Pinto, estudante de Mestrado na Nova SBE e estagiário na Sword Health, e tem moderação de José Paulo Soares.

We are pleased to share that Giovanni Righetti, our researcher at the Nova SBE Health Economics & Management Knowledge Center, has been recommended for funding for a three-year Junior Researcher contract under the FCT Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus (CEEC Individual), according to the preliminary results.

His project, “Locating Evidence: How Clinical Trial Geography Shapes Innovation Uptake and Evidence Quality”, explores how the global distribution of clinical trials influences the adoption of innovative therapies and the quality of evidence used in healthcare decision-making. By combining economic theory with causal empirical analysis, his research aims to generate valuable insights for policymakers seeking to strengthen clinical research ecosystems, foster innovation diffusion, and promote more equitable access to healthcare.

The application was supported by Pedro Pita Barros, Scientific Director of the Nova SBE Health Economics & Management Knowledge Center.

Congratulations, Giovanni, on this well-deserved recognition of your research and its potential contribution to health economics and policy! 👏
