Brazilian National Palliative Care Policy: reflections based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 09-23-2024;77(6):e770601
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an action plan for people, planet and prosperity, is a global action plan adopted by representatives of all 193 United Nations Member States, meeting at United Nations Headquarters, in New York, from September 25 to 27, 2015. By achieving 17 sustainable objectives, the Agenda aims to promote sustainable development that takes into account not only economic aspects, but also social and environmental ones. Among the Agenda’s objectives, the third indicates the need to ensure a healthy life and promote well-being for all at all ages. Through the goals proposed to achieve this objective, the imperative of seeking significant improvements in healthcare service provision stands out, especially in challenging contexts, such as developing countries. In line with these goals, the need to substantially increase health financing and strengthen the recruitment, development, training and retention of healthcare professionals stands out, with a special focus on regions with limited resources. Effective implementation of this goal is crucial to ensuring that all people, regardless of their location or economic background, have access to adequate healthcare.
In the context proposed by the third goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its respective goals, an important event that recently occurred in the history of Brazilian public health policies stands out: the approval of the Brazilian National Palliative Care Policy by the Ministry of Health. On 31st 2018, Resolution 41 was published, which provides guidelines for the organization of palliative care (PC), in light of integrated continued care, within the scope of the Brazilian Health System (SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde)(). In December 2023, during a meeting of the Tripartite Intermanagers Commission, the creation of the Brazilian National Palliative Care Policy received approval from the Ministry of Health. Then, on May 22, 2024, Ordinance MO/MoH 3,681 of May 7, 2024, which establishes the Brazilian National Palliative Care Policy – within the scope of the SUS (PNCP-SUS – Política Nacional de Cuidados Paliativos – no âmbito do SUS), was published(). PNCP-SUS reflects the commitment to ensuring a healthy life and promoting well-being for everyone, at all ages, by recognizing the importance of providing dignified and compassionate care to people with serious illnesses that significantly impact quality of life.
