Estes doentes, obrigados a sair de casa três vezes por semana para fazer diálise, viram-se apanhados entre dois perigos — o vírus e a ausência de tratamento — sem que nenhuma das escolhas fosse segura.

Public health
Chronic kidney disease patients face increased healthcare costs and service demands for integrated mental health support. Families experience disrupted routines and elevated stress. Patients may require additional out-of-pocket spending for psychological services if not covered by public health systems.
Portuguese health authorities should consider integrating mandatory psychological support into chronic kidney disease treatment protocols. Policy may expand reimbursement for mental health services in dialysis centers, increase funding for integrated care models, and establish guidelines for pandemic-resilient healthcare delivery for vulnerable populations.
