Dr Maria Melnikova is the new hero of the All Portugal Podcast, without exaggeration the most famous (and the most beautiful) Russian-speaking doctor in Portugal.


People turn to her for medical help, advice on organising personal and family healthcare, and consultations on opening private clinics in Portugal and Europe.


We met and discussed:

  • the reboot of self-care and health habits in Portugal

  • the prospects of digital health and telemedicine

  • the Portuguese tradition of hugging and warmly responding in a human way when another person is in pain.

  • that persistent cough in spring

  • "smart watches and rings

  • ways to support doctors who have moved to Portugal


Maria Melnikova, 35, is a practising doctor, specialist in healthcare organisation. She has been working in Portugal since 2016. Has been using telemedicine since 2021.
