Abstract(s)
This study aims to evaluate the quality of the Portuguese Government’s action in the
health sector during Troika’s intervention period
(2011-2015), taking as criterion the concern with
the application of Good Governance principles, in
terms of degree and diversity. The intention is to
understand the extent to which the public action
promoted by the Ministry of Health has developed
seeking to contribute to the strengthening of Good
Governance practices. Fifty measures of the Ministry of Health, distributed by nine intervention
areas, were analyzed, based on documental analysis, supported on the law and on other official
documents. The principles of Good Governance
that demonstrate a more transversal concern are
clearly that of “transparency” and of “effectiveness/efficiency”, present in eight of the nine intervention areas. The concern with “orientation to
consensus” is essentially present in the measures
classified as Agreements, “independence” in the
Ethics area, the “strengthening of the rule of Law”
in the Control area and “equity/inclusion” in the
area of the Citizen in the Centre of the NHS.
