Goals of "Alcor Portugal"

Several problems can happen when helping an Alcor member that lives in Portugal. Problems can occur in accessing the body, in the stabilization process, and in transport of the body to the Alcor facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona. One of our goals is to assist Alcor with these kind of problems.

The main goals of Alcor in Portugal are:

• Assist in the stabilization process and transport of Alcor members that are in Portugal. For more information please visit: Emergency Procedures, Team in Portugal, Mortuaries and Hospitals.

• Establish (create, keep active and coordinate) a local intervention team in Portugal. For more information please visit: Team in Portugal.

• To be an information source for the participants in the process of stabilization and transport (local "Alcor Portugal" team, Alcor staff, physicians, mortuaries, and others). Our website will also be an information source (in English), for the Alcor staff, about the problems that might happen during an emergency intervention in Portugal.
