E Depois da Revolução? S02 E02 Como Evoluiu a Saúde?

How has life expectancy in Portugal increased so dramatically over the past 50 years? This documentary explores the social and economic changes that transformed the country's health, from improved living conditions and sanitation to the creation of the National Health Service (SNS) in 1979 and Portugal's entry into the European Economic Community in 1986. These advances contributed to a sharp decline in infant mortality and major improvements in public health. However, significant challenges remain. Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death, while physical inactivity, poor mental health, and high antidepressant use continue to affect the population. Through expert analysis, the film examines Portugal's health achievements and the measures needed to improve quality of life in the decades ahead.
