SEMINAR
Perspectives on Covid-19 in slums: science, participation and public health.
Fiocruz and Redes da Maré are pleased to invite you to the seminar Looks at Covid-19 in slums: science, participation and public health. On that occasion, the results obtained and the multiple actions carried out so far will be presented, in addition to planning the next steps of the research and potential collaborations. Researchers from different national and international institutions involved in the project will present aspects of the study and share impressions with their peers.
“Fiocruz's role, in a context such as the pandemic, is to mobilize all its capacity and energy to save lives, strengthen the SUS in this confrontation and design a health and society with more equality, respect and dignity, valuing democracy at the base . In addition to pointing out inequalities, we must always think about the power of social movements to overcome this situation and learn from it and how a community as exemplary in its organization, such as Maré, unites for this confrontation. The pandemic has shown us that we have to democratize democracy, that is, to be inclusive in fact, to be in joint constructions, eliminating any idea of superiority of scientists in relation to society.”
— Nísia Trindade Lima, Fiocruz President
