The Head of State was questioned about the resignation of the SNS Executive Board led by Fernando Araújo at the exit of the Carmo Barracks, in Lisbon, where he participated in a lecture-debate with students about April 25.

"It's worth waiting", he replied.

"I was told that there will be a report from those who leave explaining what they did, there will be decisions from those who are currently in charge of the Government about the future. Let's wait", reinforced Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.

On Tuesday, the executive director of the SNS, Fernando Araújo, announced that he would submit his resignation, together with his team, "respecting the principle of institutional loyalty", thus allowing the new guardianship "to execute the policies and measures it deems necessary, with the required speed, preventing the current executive board from being considered an obstacle to its implementation".

In a statement, Fernando Araújo stated that the SNS Executive Board "is a technical body, a public institute of the State, which must be above political issues or party agendas, and which executes public policies determined by the Government".

The Minister of Health today accepted the resignation of the executive director of the SNS, Fernando Araújo, indicating that "in due time the solution for the Executive Board will be known".

The SNS Executive Board started its activity on January 1, 2023, following the new SNS Statute proposed by the then minister Marta Temido, with the aim of coordinating the healthcare response of all SNS units and modernizing its management.
