Prime Minister José Ulisses Correia e Silva to visit Brava island from December 20th

According to the same sources, the agenda of the visit will be marked by meetings and institutional contacts, with emphasis on analyzing the situation of maritime transport, one of the most sensitive issues for the island, especially during this festive season, when there is a greater movement of people and goods between the leeward islands.

Another central point of the visit will be addressing the problems linked to the health sector, namely the functioning of services, the difficulties in accessing specialized care and the constant travel of patients to other islands. The issue of water, which continues to be a structural challenge for Brava, should also receive special attention from the Prime Minister, with an assessment of the measures underway and the solutions planned to improve the supply to the population.

As part of his visit to the island, José Ulisses Correia e Silva is also expected to visit some public works in progress, with particular emphasis on roads. Among them is the road link to Palhal, from Fajã d'Água, which is considered strategic for improving internal mobility, facilitating the flow of products and boosting local development.

The visit by the head of government is seen as an important moment to strengthen the dialogue with local authorities and civil society, as well as to assess the impact of public policies on the archipelago's smallest island. It is hoped that, at the end of the trip, concrete guidelines and commitments will be announced in response to the main concerns of the Bravenses.
