The medicalized cure ........................... In Portugal, the medicalized cure at a watering-place lasts 14 days without interruption even on Sunday. Arrived on the spot, the curist yields with the administrative formalities and attends a medical examination with a thermal doctor who establishes a program of care for him (her). A planning is then organized, and the cure can start subject to availability of the structures (it is better to reserve). A cure can be renewed several years of continuation, as long as the state of the patient requires it. The ARS (Regional Administration of Health) refunds a part of the cure at a watering-place, but the patient makes the advance of the expenses. |
