Vol. 44 No. 127 out-dez (2020): Saúde em Debate

“Hope drives, fuels, moves and strengthens utopia”, the Editorial of the latest issue of Saúde em Debate of 2020, signed by Cebes directors, draws attention to the 200,000 deaths resulting from Covid-19, with a clear increase in the number of cases and deaths since October and a dramatic increase forecast for the first months of the coming year due to the typical end-of-year crowds. Amidst the various mobilizations and public positions, the Cebes has articulated with dozens of entities in the field of health to form the Front for Life, which, in the face of the visible absence of a plan to face the pandemic, mobilized scholars from all fields to prepare the National Plan to Combat the Covid-19 Pandemic, offering it to the Federal Government and the governments of subnational bodies as a contribution from the Health Reform entities.
