If you do not know which health centre is in your area of residence, call the SNS 24 Contact Centre - (+351) 808 24 24 24. If you are living in another county for school, work or other reasons, and you need health care, you can temporarily register in another health center for up to 12 months.
I wanted the name of my local health centre which on the Portuguese government site it said I could ring the SNS on 808 24 24 24. It said to press 9 if I wanted to speak in English. I pressed 9.
Then the only two options were Press 1 for psychological issues and 2 for other health issues. I pressed 2 and got a gentleman who said he did not speak English very well and told me to try again and press 9.
Same result.
This time I said to him I only wanted the name of my local health centre. He said you need to speak to someone in English and to try again and press 9.
I got nowhere.
Is there a website where I can put in my postcode and find a health centre that I should go to?
