IASAÚDE, IP-RAM — Instituto de Administração da Saúde da Região Autónoma da Madeira (Madeira's health administration)

A public body that, on Madeira, handles what on the mainland is split between the DGS and local services: it monitors public health, runs mosquito traps in every concelho on the island and takes reports from residents about standing water and rubbish through the "Não Mosquito" platform.

Where you come across it. Living in or travelling to Madeira: mosquitoes, breeding sites, health warnings in the region.
This body has no role on the mainland — there it is the local ULS and its Unidade de Saúde Pública.
