Um artigo atual que trata de riscos à saúde pública

Abstract

"big industries" in the health complex, such as the pharmaceutical, food processing, equipment, and sanitation industries and also increasingly on human resources training know how important this discussion is and are familiar with the lessons learned from tobacco.The proposal raised for discussion introduces essential elements for expanding the debate and verifying details that can be highly valuable in advancing this issue, which primarily involves good governance and public administration.I believe the discussion should also include the advantages of classifying risks in public health, which is a national and international public good that should thus be defended and preserved in order for future generations to enjoy better conditions than at present and in the recent past 1 . From this angle, there is no doubt that an industry such as tobacco which threatens "national and international public goods" (like public health and community welfare) should be seriously questioned, barring their immediate aims and long-term consequences.The tobacco industry, like others, is known to cause problems for the population's health and well-being, and it has thus attempted to justify its existence based on other reasons, for example economic. This has been possible because over the course of decades large numbers of farmers have focused on this crop, partially reaping the public benefits offered in a sort of public-private partnership, for example through the loans granted by banks in target areas for the tobacco industry and market interests 2 . This established a cycle which ultimately used public resources for activities that jeopardize and can even destroy a "public good" like health 3 . This reality is unsustainable and has no place in any rationale for governance or public administration. However, the situation still exists and has resisted measures to interrupt existing public-private partnerships that still benefit tobacco agriculture in various ways such as financing and regulation. The slow process of replacing the tobacco crop is an indicator of this resistance to measures that were taken long ago, such as the restrictions imposed by the Brazilian Central Bank on the Family Farming Program in 2001, which even today, more than 15 years later, is still the object of demand by farmers in Brazil's tobacco-growing areas 4,5,6 . This essentially proves the point that this type of public-private partnership is untenable due to the destructive effects and potential costs for the health sector.Thus, a basic criterion for categorizing the risk of public-private partnerships, but also of institutional partnerships or partnerships within the public sector, should take into account the degree of risk these partnerships pose to public goods, at least to public health, welfare, security, and culture 7,8 .

“…Desde então, a transmissão de doenças infecciosas no meio hospitalar passou a ser registrada, representando uma preocupação para profissionais da área da saúde. Assuntos como técnicas assépticas, infecções no pós-operatório, esterilização de materiais e até mesmo a resistência microbiana já faziam parte de publicações a nível da medicina e da enfermagem da época (1)(2) .…”
