Vol. 49 No. 147 out-dez (2025): Saúde em Debate

‘Inaep: the ethics of an influential elite in opposition to the ethics shared with social control’, title of the editorial that opens the last regular issue of 2025 of ‘Saúde em Debate’. Stretches: “With the publication of Law No. 14,874/2024, we entered a period of ‘legislative void’ starting in August 2024. The law did not specify whether to maintain the CNS’s regulations in effect, nor what to do with Conep, which continued to operate and review an average of 300 new research projects per month, receiving sensitive, multicenter, international projects, and projects involving populations considered vulnerable, such as indigenous peoples, quilombolas, and other traditional communities. As the law did not foresee that the old structure would no longer function, there was a period during which previous regulatory ordinances could be legally contested, as well as the opinions that approved or disapproved new projects. Without a federal decree or a ministerial ordinance, nothing had legal validity; everything was considered non-existent from a legal and juridical standpoint […] It will always be possible to find legal, administrative, and political solutions to the deadlocks in public health in Brazil. Since 1976, Cebes has taken positions on organizational issues, such as the More Doctors Project and, more recently, the Now Has Specialists Project, critically arguing for the need to address the legal, formal, and political aspects of these major structural initiatives of SUS”.
