Francisco Sampaio, a researcher at CINTESIS – Center for Health Technology and Services Research, is the author of an opinion feature in the newspaper “Expresso” with the title “Free antipsychotic medication? Tomorrow will be too late”, discussing the National Health Service dispensing antipsychotic medication for people with severe mental illness for free.
Francisco Sampaio, who is also a professor at the School of Health of the University Fernando Pessoa and President of the College of Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing Specialty of the Order of Nurses, says that “there are still reports that not all potential beneficiaries of the measure have access to antipsychotic medication free of charge.”
