SNS 24 Launches New App and Portal with Major Upgrades

To celebrate its 8th anniversary, SNS 24 is introducing a brand-new app and updated digital portal, projects supported by an investment of over €1.5 million, aimed at making healthcare more accessible, secure, and user-friendly.

A Big Step in Digital Healthcare

Since 2017, SNS 24 has been under the Ministry of Health's Shared Services (SPMS, EPE). Over the past eight years, it has evolved from a simple phone helpline into a multi-channel health platform, offering online services and more than 400 physical branches across Portugal.

More Services, More Control for Citizens

The new SNS 24 App and Portal come with helpful features for users, including:

Booking diagnostic and therapeutic exams (CDTM) with partner clinics directly through the portal
Digital dental check-upsare available through the app
Access to personal health information anytime, anywhere

These updates give people more independence and control over their health.

Designed for Ease and Better Access

With over 12 million downloads so far, the SNS 24 App is already a key tool in Portugal’s health system. The latest version brings:

A cleaner, easier-to-use design
Simpler navigation
New features to support daily health management

The portal remains a valuable tool for health education and quick access to medical information.

Powered by Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP)

The upgrades were made possible through funding from the Recovery and Resilience Plan, showing Portugal’s commitment to using technology to improve public health services.

Celebrating Progress Together

The official anniversary event will be held at the Pavilion of Portugal in Parque das Nações, Lisbon. It will bring together citizens, health professionals, media, and partner organizations to explore how digital tools can support health literacy and strengthen patient rights.
