The Group will provide medical assistance to artists, production teams, staff and members of the public, reinforcing its commitment to promoting health and safety at one of the Algarve’s largest cultural events.

Throughout the three-day event, considered the last major summer festival in Portugal, Lusíadas Saúde will provide a permanent medical team comprising two doctors, two nurses and one healthcare assistant, ensuring clinical support throughout the festival. The operation will be staffed by experienced professionals equipped to respond quickly, locally and effectively in a high-attendance environment.

Clinical expertise

Lusíadas Saúde’s presence at Festival F reflects the Group’s ongoing commitment to putting its clinical expertise at the service of the community, helping thousands of participants enjoy the event with greater safety and peace of mind. By providing the official medical services, Lusíadas Saúde also reinforces its role as a leading partner in the medical coverage of major national events.

"We are delighted to once again provide the official medical services for Festival F, a partnership that has become a symbol of the trust the organisers place in our teams and the quality of the care we provide. This collaboration reflects Lusíadas Saúde's strong connection with the Algarve and its community", Mariana Moura e Silva, Chief Executive Officer of the Lusíadas Algarve Cluster, said. "We are present not only in our healthcare facilities, but also at the events that bring thousands of people together and contribute to the region's profile. We want everyone to be able to enjoy this experience safely, knowing that they can rely on professionals who are prepared to respond whenever needed."

This partnership is part of Lusíadas Saúde’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence in the Algarve, a region where the Group has operated for more than 25 years and continues to invest in expanding its healthcare network. The recent announcement of the future Hospital Lusíadas Faro, scheduled to open at the end of 2027, represents an investment of €60 million and reflects Lusíadas Saúde’s long-term commitment to clinical and technological innovation, the creation of skilled employment and improved access to high-quality healthcare in the region.

With an established presence in the Algarve through Hospital Lusíadas Albufeira, Hospital Lusíadas Vilamoura and Clínica Lusíadas Faro, and with Hospital Lusíadas Faro in development, Lusíadas Saúde continues to support residents and visitors at different stages of their healthcare journey, providing high-quality care both in its facilities and through initiatives of major importance to the region, such as Festival F.

Cultural events

Organised by Faro City Council, Festival F is one of Portugal’s leading festivals dedicated to Portuguese music and culture. It stands out for its unique setting in Faro’s historic city centre and, over three days, brings together some of the country’s most acclaimed artists, attracting thousands of visitors from across Portugal.

This partnership builds on Lusíadas Saúde’s growing involvement in providing medical support at major cultural events and sporting competitions, including the Lisbon Book Fair, Rock in Rio and Portugal Invitational, the first PGA TOUR Champions golf tournament to be held in Portugal. Through these partnerships, Lusíadas Saúde makes its high-quality healthcare services available to a wide range of audiences and sporting disciplines.
