The Stomatology Service of the Hospital Centre of Setúbal (CHS) has held recently the 1st Meeting of Stomatology for General and Family Medicine. “The idea to create Stomatomedicine came as a result of this meeting’s dynamism, a project in which we will carry out telemedicine appointments alongside different health centres”, David Ângelo, a member of this meeting’s organising committee, unfurls.
In an interview conceded to Just News, the expert states that the first advantage of Stomatomedicine “is for the patient himself, who can avoid a needless visit to the hospital or be seen in the emergency room, if there is a need to do so”, emphasizing that “family doctors will be able to work alongside stomatology”. Inquired by similar projects in our country, David Ângelo mentions that he is not aware of such thing, but he believes that “is a matter of time, as this is a project that has an enormous potential. One needs to acknowledge that telemedicine will never replace an in-person appointment, but it can work as a positive complement for the screening of patients and their follow-up”.
