The Movement for the Sick (Portuguese: Movimento pelo Doente, pronounced [muviˈmẽtu ˈpelu ðuˈẽtɨ]) was a political party of Portugal, from 2002 to 2007.[1]

The movement claimed its main goals were to promote the defense of social rights, namely health rights and to promote ethical humanism in Portuguese culture.[1]

They ran for the 2004 European Parliament election, getting 0.4% of the votes (about 14 thousand votes).

On January 17th, 2007, the Constitutional Court accepted its dissolution and conversion into a non-profit association.[2]
