Where Is Hospital Sobral Cid?
Hospital Sobral Cid is at Quinta da Conraria, in the Ceira area of Coimbra in central Portugal. It occupies a quieter, more rural setting on the edge of the city rather than being in Coimbra’s historic centre.
Coimbra sits roughly midway between Porto and Lisbon, with each airport around one and a half to two hours away by car; Coimbra’s train station connects to both cities. Call ahead to confirm the address, current contact details and visiting hours before travelling, as these were difficult to verify independently.

Hospital Sobral Cid Reviews
If you or a family member has experience of care at Hospital Sobral Cid, adding a review would help other people in the Coimbra area understand what the public psychiatric service involves.
Beyond reviews, it helps to know the hospital operates within Portugal’s national health service as part of the CHUC group. A useful question to ask is exactly how referral and admission into the hospital work for someone outside the immediate Coimbra area.
You will get transferred around without being acknowledged. Most of the time, they don't even transfer you to the right place. When put 'on hold' they talk bad about the callers. Will hang up on you while you're mid… setence and gaslight you if you call back. They talk over you, interrupt you and make all sorts of assumptions before even hearing you out. Genuinely the worst experience of my life and they should rework their entire structure.
The worst hospital. You call wanting to speak to someone who understands the subject, and they redirect you to someone who doesn't. We could be about to die and nobody cares.
The staff don't answer the phone, and when they do, they're rude. However, the doctors are professional, competent, and helpful.
Numa altura de grande necessidade e sofrimento, recorremos ao Sobral Cid para ajudar o nosso amigo Diogo Martins, ele estava bastante mal, á beira do colapso e procuramos esta instituição para o ajudar. O tratamento foi… excelente, ótimos profissionais e métodos avançados, o problema era o paciente, não colaborava. A doença que afetava o Diogo era raiva canina, que avançou para um cérebro incapaz de pensar, levando a cometer graves erros de julgamento e de ações que o levaram a ser considerado um animal não pensante. Agradecemos muito pelo tempo que ele cá esteve, vamos rezar que o Diogo Martins volte a pensar pela própria cabeça, ou seremos forçados a eutanásiar a sua pessoa.
É ridículo. Fui internado depois anos em guerra com o meu violento, que nunca me levou ao psiquiatra permitindo que ganhasse uma esquizofrenia. Estive quase 1mes no Sobral Cid, e quando chegou a hora de ir embora,… chamaram os pais que me davam violência para vir buscar. Ainda estava doente, mas tive que ir embora para casa para um ambiente de violência constante. Em vez de ser encaminhado para a APAV fui entregue aos pais violentos. Hoje continuo a sofrer de violência. Tudo neste país é medíocre e mal feito. Como é possível?
Rude people lack respect for others.
Professional service, but long waiting lines.
This hospital project is highly commendable in its pursuit of immersion therapy in nature, but it is very neglected and shows clear signs of underinvestment, requiring intervention in the public space and in some of the… buildings.
Terrible. They don't answer the phone when we need medication; we have to go there on purpose because the staff are doing who-knows-what to avoid answering the phone. It's a disgrace.
O CHUC e o Hospital Sobral Cid destruiram a minha vida. Dia 27 de Julho de 2022 fui internado compulsivamente, sob um conjunto de circunstâncias a roçar o criminoso (entre o abuso psicológico que me levou ao total… descalabro, ao facto de que uma das pessoas que exerceu sobre mim esse abuso foi precisamente aquela que chamou o 112 para me internar, à omissão de auxílio do 112 quando telefonei para me socorrer dessa pessoa, à actuação vergonhosa da PSP que tentou escalar a situação com várias provocações numa tentativa de me fazer perder a calma e reagir, ao total sadismo e prepotência do enfermeiro que apanhei nos HUC que nunca teve interesse em ouvir-me e apenas me forçou a tomar medicação, sem qualquer diagnóstico ou consideração pelas razões que ali me levaram). O meu internamento no Sobral Cid foi a última machadada na minha saude mental já muito debilitada. Sinto-me humilhado, a minha dignidade roubada e direitos lesados por todo este processo. Pasme-se que fui internado na ala de psicose quando era claro para toda a gente que nunca tinha tido um surto psicótico (a minha nota de alta trazia "depressão ligeira"!!!). Vi como ali os pacientes se arrastavam de forma moribunda, sem qualquer apoio ou terapia, apenas medicação. Tendo tentado apoiar psicologicamente um dos meus colegas (conjuntamente com o desplante de exprimir algumas opiniões que não agradaram a certa enfermeira) fui rapidamente ameaçado para não "interferir no processo terapêutico" do meu colega. Fui igualmente ameaçado ao tentar, de forma assertiva, negar-me a assinar uma notificação judicial sem antes receber uma cópia do documento, notificação onde constava a mentira de que tinha "aceitado a minha doença e estar internado voluntariamente). Não esquecerei o olhar de sadismo e prepotência do médico ao chantagear-me que, se não assinasse imediatamente, declarar-me-ia "mentalmente inapto" ao tribunal. Senti-me aterrorizado e oprimido enquanto lá estive, saí de lá mais traumatizado do que quando entrei. Acabou com qualquer esperança de ser ajudado pelo SNS. Sigo a minha luta com um sentimento de total desamparo.
I was hospitalized a long time ago, about 25 years ago, but right now I need another hospitalization. The lockdown only made things worse, and so did my wife. I'm asking for help for both of us. If possible, my contact… number is 964987844, Alfredo José Lopes Ferreira.
Because I received excellent service.
Hospital surrounded by nature.
Making an appointment by phone is a public service, and as such, not being able to do so because no one answers the phone should never happen. But it's happening more and more frequently. I've been on hold for 10… minutes straight.
Hospital with a good environment and surrounding space.
I went in there crazy, I came out worse. Signed, Carolina Torres
