Technical Notebooks 10 - Emerging Projects in the context of COVID-19

Volume X of the Technical Notebooks of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa presents the Emerging Projects in the COVID-19 Context, introducing the Preventive Intervention Teams of Lisbon and the Backup Units. Together, these two unique projects ensured a rigorous testing plan in the capital and provided the necessary healthcare to a significant portion of the population that had contracted the virus and presented clinical and social conditions of greater vulnerability.
During a visit to the behind-the-scenes of the mission undertaken during the pandemic – a mission in which the Misericórdia de Lisboa and its technicians, as well as those from various partner institutions, were involved – it is possible to grasp the extent of the effort made by a vast group of professionals from different areas, who, on the ground, offered their dedication and put their knowledge into practice, always within a solid team work logic.
