Miguel Alpalhão

Miguel Alpalhão is a dermatologist who has recently come under scrutiny following a report by the Inspecção-Geral das Actividades em Saúde (IGAS), which confirmed allegations of irregularities in the performance of additional surgeries at the Hospital de Santa Maria in Lisbon. He is accused of conducting small surgeries under the guise of outpatient procedures, which led to him earning over 700,000 euros improperly. The IGAS report highlighted significant flaws in the coding and payment processes related to surgical activities, raising concerns about the ethical and financial management of healthcare services in the region.
