atendimento complementar

atendimento complementar (extra walk-in service at weekends and on public holidays)
The same walk-in service as consulta aberta, with no appointment needed, but at weekends and on public holidays: one health centre per area is on duty, and everyone who needs a doctor but not A&E goes there.
Where you come across it. You fall ill on a Saturday or Sunday and it is not serious enough for the hospital.
The duty centre changes according to a rota, so find out in advance which one it is, on your ULS website or from the SNS 24 line.
