Welcome to the Official page of the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic

Since it was totally impossible for me to attend this so relevant moment for the Order of the Brothers of S. João de Deus, I wish to express my gratitude for the very much they have for Mental Health in our country.

That this Museum will show the long trajectories gone through in such a sensitive and difficult area.

That it helps us become more aware of the dignity of the human being, in whatever circumstances.

Maria Cavaco Silva
