  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”.

  Topics covered: quality of health information on the Internet; Violence, mental suffering and invisibilities in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro; Humanization of birth and women’s empowerment in Quebec and Chile; Hospital care during childbirth; Judicialization of health as a sustainability strategy for the SUS; Prevention and control of oral câncer in Rio de Janeiro; Dental services in Paraná during the Covid-19 pandemic; The Caps and Winnicottian theory; Work and practices of nursing in Primary Health Care in the state of Paraíba – Brazil; Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS represent after four decades of epidemic; Health care practices from the perspective of People Living With HIV/AIDS;  case study on the living and care of women with HIV; Collective health and social psychology: an interdisciplinary path for meta-formation in graduate studies; Physical education and training in public health; Continuing Health Education: an interprofessional and affective policy; Quality of care and patient safety; Applicability of the Three Delays Model in the context of maternal mortality; Big Data and artificial intelligence for translational research in COVID-19; Planning and Sizing of the Health Workforce in Brazil; Pedagogical experiences for the construction of interdisciplinary in public health; Construction of the Municipal Health Plan from the district perspective.

  “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.

  “The Brazilian Center for Health Studies (Cebes), with the publication of this journal ‘Saúde em Debate’, is part of the struggle to democratize access to the defense of life and health in this conflict environment. 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”. [Excerpt from the Editorial ‘Vaccines against Covid-19: the disease and the vaccines as weapons in colonial oppression’ signed by Cebes directors Heleno Rodrigues Corrêa Filho and Alane Andrelino Ribeiro].

  Issue 128 of Saúde em Debate presents the following themes: induction to health research in Brazil to mitigate problems related to extreme poverty; challenges for the regionalization of Health Surveillance in Brazil; bodily practices as devices of biopolitics and biopower in Primary Health Care (PHC); care in psychiatric inpatient services in general hospitals in Argentina; network organization in specialized psychosocial care in Recife; power relations between PHC professionals and users; users who abandon care in Psychosocial Care Centers (Caps-III); Adult Shelter Unit for users of alcohol and other drugs; clinic at Caps Infantojuvenil in adolescence; conducts carried out by Therapeutic Communities; biopsychosociocultural factors related to breastfeeding; oral health care indicators in Primary Care in Recife; bodies as object: a post-colonial reading of the ‘Brazilian Holocaust’; opening up possibilities in mental health care, in moments of crisis; extinction of judicial asylums; Autonomous Medication Management, from Quebec to Brazil; work and illness of bank employees; meanings on mental health care; book review ‘Regionalized health care networks: challenges to care integration and care coordination’.

  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.

  The objective of this thematic issue was to bring together contemporary issues that question the path of building a health policy in Brazil that guarantees the dignity and well-being of populations. The invitation for other perspectives on the Brazilian Sanitary Reform to present themselves comes at a time of confusion, with political, economic, and social transformations in all corners of the planet, as well as retrograde movements that call into question the advances made in decades of struggle for the recognition of rights, penalizing once again those who were still seeking to make their voices heard in societies. The Brazilian Center for Health Studies (Cebes) and the periodic ‘Saúde em Debate’ not only welcomed that proposal, but also constituted the best space to provoke such debate.

  Topics addressed: social determinants and populations of occupations; crack in Manguinhos (RJ); analysis of the Family Health Strategy by popular movements in Ceará; rural health: paths of the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST); mental health of the black population by the Racism and Mental Health Working Group of the Ministry of Health; LGBT people on the streets and health in Florianópolis (SC); transsexuals and the gender transition; care for transvestites and trans women living on the streets in Belo Horizonte (MG); Health Reform Movement and Health Union Movement; the teachings of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform (RSB); indigenism and Sanitary Reform; collective health, coloniality, and subalternities; the Unified Health System (SUS) and liberal necropolitics; body-knowledge and the decolonization of collective health; ‘On the concept of History’ in public health; political determinants of the SUS crisis; RSB and unionism in health; collective health and agroecology; the RSB and the nature of the State: the agrarian question; feminist movements and the Sanitary Reform in Brazil; health and Sanitary Reform in the context of native peoples; LGBT health policy in public health publications; social movements against State racism: health debate; the construction of the SUS based on the work of Community Health Agents; the social movement in the RSB; book review ‘What is a place of speech’; manifesto on health and democracy in the favelas.
