Workers’ Health as a Human Right: towards the 5th CNSTT
Vol. 49 No. especial 2 ago (2025)This special issue of the journal ‘Saúde em Debate’ is the result of a collective construction between the Brazilian Association of Public Health (ABRASCO), through its Thematic Group on Workers’ Health (GTSTT), and the Ministry of Health, through the General Coordination of Surveillance in Workers’ Health (CGSAT), in the commitment to contribute to the 5th National Conference on Workers’ Health (5th CNSTT).

Technologies for the digital transformation of the Unified Health System
Vol. 49 No. especial 1 ago (2025)The guest editors of the special issue ‘Technologies for the digital transformation of the Unified Health System’ present the journal, highlighting its relevance due to the panel of articles, essays, reviews, and experience reports on the digital transformation of the Unified Health System (SUS). […] given the high level of investment in health technologies, which does not always translate into improved services, especially in a complex scenario such as the SUS. The effective benefits of a technology depend directly on its adoption by users. The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, proposes the fusion of technologies – physical, digital, or biological – in favor of innovation to improve society's living conditions, thereby impacting the development of products and services, including healthcare, which are now connected and personalized. […] The SUS can reap significant benefits from the sustainable adoption of new digital technologies, improving adherence, resolution, and responsiveness of services. This challenging environment offers opportunities for the development of the health sector in Brazil, whose vastness and regional differences demand solutions that are both comprehensive and customizable”.

Vol. 49 No. 145 (2025)Written by members of the Health-Work-Law Center of the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (Cebes), the editorial in this issue of ‘Saúde em Debate’ draws attention to the 5th National Conference on Worker’s Health, which will be held in August 2025. “Its central theme is to consider health at work as a Human Right. It is expected to be a turning point between what has been done so far and what can be done afterward. [...] The guarantee of this right spans popular participation in the form of the working class taking the lead. Since it is the working class that directly suffers the effects of exploitation and oppression and, therefore, has their human rights violated, the leadership of this debate/struggle cannot be delegated to any other party.”

Vol. 48 No. 143 (2024)The editorial in this issue of the journal brings the concept of One Health to the debate: “The discourse instituted by ‘One Health’ places the level of the world of men, animals, plants, and the biological context on a single plane without considering the biopower and biopolitics existing in the relations between society and nature and capital and labor. It seems to us a step backward to replace Public Health policies, guided by the concepts of the field of Collective Health, only by the look of zoonoses control, ‘good laboratory practices,’ the ‘use of drones’ and ‘gadgets,’ dispensing with critical and social epidemiology, social sciences and humanities, political ecology, among other disciplinary fields that have been so well amalgamated in the confrontation of contemporary reality, which, from the middle of the twentieth century onwards, have shown how the harmfulness resulting from social and nature exploitation affects health in an interdependent way and is producing new and increasingly complex health crises. […] CEBES believes that democracy is health and that health and human life on Earth are socio-environmental processes that are historically determined and increasingly mediated by the ways of producing, working, consuming, valuing nature, and relating to the cultural dimensions of subjectivities, politics, culture, and the arts. Therefore, he reaffirms that health is a product of social accumulation and a popular achievement. Acting based on these principles implies intervening in biopower and biopolitics, in the command of institutional public health policies subordinated to the process of social participation and based on the assumptions of collective health based on the economic and social determination of health.”

Vol. 48 No. 142 jul-set (2024)Paragraph concluding the editorial ‘For a SUS career to advance Health Reform’, signed by Ronaldo Teodoro, associate editor of ‘Saúde em Debate’: “In 2024, the year of the 4th National Conference on Labor Management and Health Education, the debate on the career of the SUS will take on a decisive historical power. Many social movements understand this urgency and are formulating an alternative program to the managerial field. In sync with this political temporality, the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (CEBES) held its first Free Labor Conference this year. In its program, it reaffirmed the thesis that the various fronts of the health program require a recomposition of the value of work and that the direction of the SUS is directly associated with the daily challenges its workers face. This editorial is a fraction of the energy and hope gathered at this meeting”.

Vol. 48 No. 141 abr-jun (2024)Editorial signed by the journal’s scientific editors: “The effects of climate change on the planet, predicted by scientists for the coming decades, have already come. In the first months of 2024, floods occurred in countries in Africa (Kenya) and Asia (Indonesia, Afghanistan), leaving hundreds dead and thousands homeless. In May, in Brazil, rain caused the biggest tragedy in the history of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and one of the biggest in the country. […] Solidarity, demonstrated from North to South of the country, involved the most diverse sectors of society, artists, influencers, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), social movements, sectors of the economy and media, with donations and direct action in civil defense, which proved fundamental in the first days of the tragedy, when the objective was to save lives, by rescuing stranded people and animals, searching for the missing and sheltering the homeless. However, this solidarity – necessary and fundamental – does not replace the role of the State as neoliberals, defenders of the minimal State, tried to make us believe. Without public investments, there is no way to recover the destroyed infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports, schools, health services etc.) nor to stimulate the recovery of the productive sector (commerce, industry, agriculture, and others), nor to guarantee the transfer of financial resources to the families”.

Vol. 48 No. 140 (2024)The editorial ‘What do women want? Sexual and reproductive health and rights’, signed by the editors of Saúde em Debate, Ana Maria Costa and Lenaura de Vasconcelos da Costa Lobato, begins the journal with the following question: “Every year, the month of March is an invitation to reflect on the female condition, our achievements and challenges before the State, governments and society. There is no doubt that, from the place where we were thrown and subjected in the hierarchy of power in society, we have come a long way. However, even so, there is still a long way to go that covers the legal, economic, cultural, and many other spheres. In health, and medicine in particular, a woman’s body and identity have never been the subject of the deserved and necessary respect. Since the beginnings of so-called Modern Medicine, textbooks have taught barbaric things about women and guided excessive interventionism, confirming the pattern of patriarchy in the science of caring for the body and soul. From this perspective, the medicalization of the female body is seen as an effect of discomfort and disrespect on women as subjects and citizens”.

After all, what do we pay taxes for and who do they serve?’, is signed by Francisco Funcia and José Noronha, who conclude at the end of the manuscript: “[...] it is necessary to forcefully undo the myth that there is no money to finance public policies and ensure constitutional ties to Health and Education.

For this, it is necessary to mobilize society, activate social participation, and increase the various mechanisms of political pressure to, after reconstruction, build a more just and supportive Brazil”.

Vol. 47 No. 138 jul-set (2023)The editorial for this issue of ‘Saúde em Debate’, signed by members of the Cebes team, discusses the 17th National Health Conference (CNS): [...] held from July 2 to 5, 2023, was yet another ‘act of invention of democracy’ in Brazil. The CNS continues to represent the challenges and potential of one of the oldest mottos of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform (RSB), and which permeates the creation of the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (Cebes): Health is Democracy and Democracy is Health. The National Health Conferences emerged as a State planning instrument in 1941. Then, their composition reflected the technocratic and vertical perspective of the idea of health: a meeting formed essentially by public health specialists, mostly physicians, who would define the guidelines of the major programs of the Brazilian State for the sector, with special focus on the field of infectious and contagious diseases, to which public health was then restricted. [...] The RSB proposal presented in 1979, still in the context of the dictatorship, contributed to the 8th CNS, in which the segment of users of public health services, represented by multiple popular and union organizations, was present and constituted half of the total number of the delegation, whose proposals were systematized in a small and very powerful report with three themes: health as a right, reformulation of the national health system, and financing”.

Vol. 47 No. 137 abr-jun (2023)Eli Iola Gurgel Andrade, Ana Maria Costa and Maria Lucia Frizon Rizzotto sign the editorial of Saúde em Debate nº 137. The authors revisit “the concept of Social Security as the central axis for guaranteeing social protection, structured as a responsibility of the State, to be guaranteed to all Brazilians, as expressed in the Federal Constitution of 1988 (CF/88)”. They point out that “More than three decades later, the destruction of rights and setbacks that have taken place in recent years challenge the democratic reconstruction of Brazil. At this moment, therefore, it is essential to resume the debate that originated the notion of Social Security, to which the universal right to health was integrated” and “the challenge remains of rethinking the social security model for the 21st century, considering the issue of population aging, the epidemiological profile and the need for a new social policy of continuous care as one more of the pillars of Social Security”.

Vol. 47 No. 136 jan-mar (2023)Excerpts from the editorial of the first issue of ‘Saúde em Debate’ of 2023 – ‘The reconstruction of the SUS and the fight for rights and democracy’: “The Unified Health System (SUS) is going through one of its most serious crises. Since the 2016 coup, several health policies and programs have been insidiously and deliberately disrupted. Both the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (Cebes), through positions and outstanding political action as one of the coordinating entities of the Front for Life (FpV), and the journal ‘Saúde em Debate’, in several editorials and articles published in that period, significantly contributed to the critical analysis and denunciation of the enormous damage to Brazil caused by the Temer and Bolsonaro administrations. [...] . The only reason why the situation was not even more critical is because of the resilience demonstrated by the SUS, to which the responses produced by state and municipal managers and the selflessness and capacity for reinvention of its workers contributed greatly [...]”.

Resilience of National Health Systems
Vol. 46 No. especial 8 dez (2022)The scientific editors of ‘Saúde em Debate’ special issue ‘Resilience of National Health Systems’ present the journal: “[...] The Special Thematic Issue (NTE) offers a comprehensive and diverse panel of articles, essays, digests, and reviews from a domestic and international perspective on resilience, sustainability, and institutional capacity in the health sector. [...] The works point to the construction of a research agenda on the capacity of national systems or health organizations to respond to radical disturbances.

HIV/AIDS care policies and practices: interdisciplinary dialogues
Vol. 46 No. especial 7 dez (2022)With great pleasure, the journal 'Saúde em Debate' launches its special 'Christmas' issue HIV/AIDS care policies and practices: interdisciplinary dialogues, taking the opportunity to wish its collaborators (reviewers, editors, authors, revisers and translators) a 2023 with renewed hopes and full of Universal, Comprehensive, Equitable and Democratic Health. And here's to more editorial achievements!
Excerpts from the Presentation of the special issue signed by the scientific editors: “The publication we have in our hands resulted from the meeting of a group of researchers and health professionals from various teaching and research institutions with the objective of knowing, gathering, and making visible academic research and analysis of experiences on HIV/AIDS care in the current context. [...] we thought of a set of questions that we hoped to address through the publication of this issue: What is care in HIV/AIDS? In what spaces is care produced? Which actors are part of this construct? How has HIV/AIDS care been produced in different Brazilian contexts? How does it relate to people’s access to health networks and services? What social markers and axes of analysis are important in an analysis of care in HIV/AIDS? (Gender? Sexual identity and orientation? Class? Color/race/ethnicity? Religion? Age? Body? Sexuality? Technology? Management? Work processes? Others?) What/how do policies entail HIV/AIDS care? How do the experiences of people/subjects/individuals/users/patients articulate themselves in these threads? [...] It is appropriate to register that we started the production of this thematic issue in a moment of threat to democracy and science, and that this project, with all the developments it has had, including the production of this collection, has fed us and contributed to our daily resistances for many times. We finalize the process after the presidential elections that elected Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva President of the Republic, and in this current conjuncture we place hope and expectations for more investments in the health area, in the resumption of the participation of organized civil society, in the resources for universities, in the production of knowledge driven to the reconstruction and resumption of the sanitary reform project. To publish it in the journal of the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (CEBES) is, for us, a reason for immense joy.”

Child health: integration between teaching, research, service and management
Vol. 46 No. especial 5 dez (2022)The Presentation of the special issue of Saúde em Debate ‘Child Health: integration between teaching, research, service and management’, signed by the guest scientific editors, begins with the poetry of Gabriela Mistral, ‘Your name is today’:
“We are guilty of many mistakes and faults
but our worst crime is the abandonment of children
denying them the source of life
Many of the things we need can wait.
The child cannot
Now is the time when their bones are forming
their blood is too
and their senses are developing
To them, we cannot answer ‘tomorrow’
Their name is today."The poetry of the 1945 Nobel Prize winner for Literature calls for the emergence of caring for children. It was pressing in the middle of the last century; it is urgent today. No wonder, one of the first measures announced by the transition team of president-elect (in 2022) Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was the priority in the recovery of children’s vaccination coverage rates – a topic that has been heavily neglected in the last four years in Brazil. [...] The issue of this publication on children’s health meets this process and becomes a voice that responds to the cry: ‘Their name is today’, especially if we highlight children’s health, an area that has gone through many challenges.”
Topics covered: Child’s Handbook and occupational therapy; Brazilian Amazon Primary Health Care professionals on maternal and child health; Registration of infant feeding and clinical complications in the Children’s Handbook; Health promotion in early childhood: weaving local networks; Vaccination Coverage in children aged zero to 12 months in Piauí, Brazil; Interprofessionality, training, and collaborative work in the context of family health; Family relationships of children in situations of vulnerability and violence; Vulnerability of children with special health needs; Socioeconomic determinants on the motor development of infants in Manaus, Amazonas; Parental practices and knowledge about children's motor skills acquisitions; Frenectomies performed in the context of the SUS after mandatory tongue test; Family-centered home motor intervention on the functioning of individuals with Duchenne; Repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on Elementary School children; Sociodemographic and pharmacoepidemiology profile of HIV infected children; Methylphenidate prescriptions in a pediatric neurology outpatient clinic; The child’s body as a receptacle of physical violence; Sexual abuse against children: strategies in Primary Health Care in a municipality in the metropolitan region of Recife; Child care in the prison contexto; Childcare in the SUS; child health training in the Brazilian Amazon; Multicampi Saúde da Criança: extension contributions to medical training in Northern Brazil; healthy complementary feeding in Acre, Brazilian Amazon; integrality in the interprofessional performance in the care of childhood obesity; Breastfeeding promotion actions at daycare centers in the city of São Paulo; Almanac of Emotions for children and adolescents in times of pandemic.

Saúde em Debate
Vol. 46 No. 135 out-dez (2022)Editorial of the last regular issue of ‘Saúde em Debate’ of 2022, written by the journal’s scientific editors: ‘Lula for President: the heritage and the challenges for the democratic field’ – For the past six years, democracy in Brazil has been confronted with the fascism that has settled here along with serious political, economic, health, cultural, and social crises. Until September 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic had killed 685,677 people, proportionately one of the highest mortality rates on the planet (14th place), and the second in the Americas, with 3,214 million inhabitants, lagging behind only Peru. [...] In the context of a society divided and flooded by hatred, Lula’s great task will be to rebuild the country, democracy, unity, and hope, while implementing social policies that reduce the enormous inherited inequalities, particularly the hunger that today reaches 33 million Brazilians. There is great expectation regarding the strengthening of the health sector and the Unified Health System (SUS), which gained visibility and certain popular appreciation in the pandemic, but which, at the same time, is a sector in strong dispute with the private market. The invitation to the leaders of the National Health Council and the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (CEBES) to compose the government’s Transition Commission in the field of health signals the role that organizations and entities of collective health and the Health Reform Movement (MRS) can play in the future government as actors with the capacity and power to influence the direction of health”.

“Two Years have passed since the beginning of the pandemic and after a year of vaccination of segments of the population, the global situation of COVID-19 still shows no concrete prospects that this disease will be controlled shortly.

[…] The challenges for the Brazilian health system are complex, for which five structuring guidelines are presented here, such as objective-images, as a contribution to the national debate on the future of health and the SUS in our country:
- Health is the right to live well
- Investing in health is essential to national sovereignty and economic development

Vol. 45 No. 131 out-dez (2021)“Over these last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil has translated into a catastrophic event, which, in addition to exposing the emphasis of public policies by the federal government against the citizenship rights conferred by the Federal Constitution of 1988, shows, each increasingly, a political determination to destroy the civilizing role of the State in guaranteeing individual and collective rights. This is a criminal political attitude, which disregards the vulnerability and enormous inequality in the Brazilian population, which are only increasing during this health crisis. Contrary to what should be done, morally and constitutionally, it was necessary to implement policies aimed at controlling, overcoming, and reducing the economic, social, cultural, educational, and science and technology impacts that the pandemic had created. [...] The activities of the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (Cebes) in the struggle for the democratization of society and the defense of social rights, in particular the universal right to health, were intensified by the articulation of partnerships between people and institutions, social movements, committed to reform the Brazilian health in the expectation of strengthening and mobilizing against this current situation of underfunding and dismantling the Unified Health System (SUS) and the rights conquered through the Citizen Constitution!” – Excerpts from the Editorial ‘Cebes in the struggle during the Covid-19 pandemic’ from the latest issue of the journal Saúde em Debate, 2021, by Lucia Souto and Carlos Silva.

It has been struggling to insert COVID-19 as a disease mainly of occupational transmission and lethality in which the illness of the elderly, children and adolescents is a collateral factor. The resources to study, research and publish are scarce and often mean the limit of survival for the Cebes itself, for the poor working class, for migrants and for the peripheries of a country that is reluctant to be thrown into the graveyard and civil war by its own rulers”.

Covid-19: knowing to face future challenges
Vol. 44 No. especial 4 dez (2020)The editorial of this special issue of Saúde em Debate ‘Covid-19: knowing to face future challenges’ opens the journal with the following excerpt, signed by the scientific editors:
“Since February 25, when the first case of Covid-19 was confirmed in Brazil, we have sadly accumulated 175 thousand deaths and over 6.5 million infected people until the first week of December 2020. Declared by the World Health Organization as a pandemic on March 11, the disease moves from the wealthiest neighborhoods to the peripheries; and from large urban centers to cities in the countryside, spreading throughout the country during these months, drawing a wide curve in which the highest levels of incidence, transmission rate and deaths stand out in the months of June, July and August. Without the control of the disease and still with a significant transmission rate, Covid-19 is growing again in the country, this time having the entire national territory as its epicenter. Brazil currently ranks seventh and ninth among the countries with the highest mortality and lethality rates, but this situation may change in view of the increase in the number of cases of the disease, the extinction of the emergency income and the resumption of the expenditure ceiling law with the risk of a loss of around R$ 40 billion for the Health budget as of 2021. In accentuating the unjust social inequalities that persist in the country, Covid-19 reveals its discriminatory nature in affecting the poorest and most vulnerable, sacrificing invisible subalternized populations – indigenous, black, gypsy, quilombolas, homeless, refugees”.
It gathers manuscripts with the following themes: multilateralism, world order and COVID-19; BRICS in the context of the pandemic; political management of COVID-19 in Portugal; the SUS in times of COVID-19; social protection in times of COVID-19; COVID-19 and federative coordination in Brazil; SUS funding and COVID-19; Epidemiological Surveillance and COVID-19 in Brazil; hospital care in times of a pandemic; Primary Health Care in the SUS network to face the pandemic; mental health in Brazil during the pandemic; morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 according to race/color/ethnicity; limitation of COVID-19 notification data; COVID-19 in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region; public and private offer of beds and access to health care in the pandemic in Brazil; use of private hospital beds by public health systems in Brazil; survival of the SUS in times of a pandemic; the pandemic in the favelas; Niterói’s experience in municipal coordination and articulation during the pandemic; emergency national training in Mental Health and Psychosocial Care in COVID-19; analysis of experiences in the pandemic in vulnerable populations; noise pollution in the urban environment during the pandemic; gender and race inequalities in the pandemic.

Saneamento e saúde ambiental
Vol. 43 No. especial 3 dez (2019)Em pleno século XXI, o Brasil ainda apresenta enormes desafios em relação à oferta dos serviços de saneamento.
