Gebalis was present at the Health Forum 2026, an event dedicated to reflecting on the challenges of local health policies and the impact of proximity responses on people's lives. The organization's participation in Lisbon served to raise awareness of these initiatives.
Fernando Angleu, President of Gebalis's Board of Directors, presented the Proximity Clinics. These services offer basic and free healthcare to residents of the municipal housing estates managed by the entity.
In turn, Mikaella Sena de Andrade, Director of Local Intervention at Gebalis, introduced the project “Ver Melhor o Mundo” (See the World Better). This project focuses on providing vision screenings, specialist consultations, and free glasses to children and young people from socially vulnerable backgrounds living in municipal housing.
Participation in this forum reinforced the importance of proximity and local intervention in promoting health, social inclusion, and the quality of life for communities, according to Gebalis.
