Zusammenfassung:In the last 40 years, the National Health Service (SNS) has generated health gains that have placed Portugal at the top regarding quality of life for millions of citizens and reduced many of the inequalities in Portuguese society We revisit the establishment of the Portuguese National Health Service and all the profound legislative changes introduced after the publication of the new Health Basic Law, the definition of the strategic axes of the SNS human resources policy and the establishment of the respective operationalization mechanisms, the approval of the new SNS Statute and the approval of the Organic and Statutes of the Executive Board of the SNS and the creation of Local Health Units (ULS) as public business entities. These legislative changes could be a fundamental step towards strengthening the construction of a fairer and more inclusive SNS, which better responds to the populations needs through the necessary structural reforms.
