Hospital da Luz Póvoa de Varzim celebrated, last July 8, a protocol with the North NCX’s bikers , establishing special conditions for the group’s members in health services provided in that unit and also in the units of Vila Real, Amarante and Vila Nova de Cerveira . This was another agreement promoted by Hospital da Luz in the context of the strategy of support to the population in access to healthcare . Already in January 2020, Hospital da Luz Póvoa de Varzim organized a first-aid course for members of the North NCX’s group, that sold out. Considering the large participation and very positive reactions, the initiative will be repeated as soon as the Covid-19 pandemic conditions so permit. In the protocol now celebrated, the thousands of members of this bikers’ group will benefit from discounts* on the list prices of all services provided in the four Hospital da Luz network units above referred, namely: Emergency consultations 24 hours; Programmed consultations in medical or surgical specialties; Treatments in dental medicine; Complementary diagnostic exams; Surgeries and deliveries; Inpatient service. In order to benefit from the discounts, the North NCX’s members must show the respective identification card confirming their membership to the group, besides their personal identity card. Full information on this protocol can be obtained through the North NCX’s administrators or via email to protocolos.povoa@hospitaldaluz.pt .
