From October, Palhaços d’Opital will also visit ULS São José.
The Internal Medicine A and B and Urology departments in Lisbon join the programme, bringing the partnership to 11 hospital units across Portugal.
The extension follows a period of joint assessment by the artistic team and the department’s clinical management, which identified a particular need for emotional support for people facing longer hospital stays.
Regular visits to the new areas begin this month, with the same Palhaços d’Opital team that already works in other areas of Hospital dos Capuchos.
