“This unit will allow the opening of 15 intensive care beds, fully equipped with ventilators, monitors and other equipment,” said the Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto (CHUP), where Santo António is located.
According to CHUP, as a way of thanking Ronaldo and Mendes, the new wing will be named after these two patrons of the football world.
“The Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto thanks Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Mendes for this very useful initiative, at a time when the country needs everyone so much,” said the chairman of the board of directors, Paulo Barbosa.
