In a statement, the Azorean Government (PSD/CDS-PP/PPM) indicates that the course will take place within the framework of the Regional Program for the Promotion of Health Literacy, integrated into the Regional Health Plan 2030.
Quoted in the note, the Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi, underlines that "the promotion of health literacy is essential to empower citizens, improve health outcomes and strengthen the sustainability of the system".
The training, provided by the Portuguese Society for Health Literacy, will begin with two in-person sessions on Wednesday and Thursday at the Public Library and Archive of Ponta Delgada, in a hybrid format (in-person and online). The training course will then continue online until November 2026.

I hate to say it, but this program is so completely useless, aside from a possible admonition for people to avoid processed foods like the plague. Here in my locale In America are thousands of Azorean-derived people. The vast majority were simple farmers who ate naturally - fish, cheese, milk, potatoes, fruits, varieties of cabbage, corn bread, pork and beef on special occasions, etc etc. In other words they already ate healthy. But with "prosperity" comes the junk food, and that is the real culprit. Do we really need high-priced academic "experts" telling people to eat what they already ate prior to modern industrial food services?
