Abstract

Ever forward-thinking with an eye to the future and a firm commitment to increasing knowledge, forward-looking management, and the highly effective operation of the SUS, Ciência & Saúde Coletiva (C&SC) has been forging the arduous path of creating its own identity. A collective work of authors, tireless associate editors, reviewers, the editorial board, executive editors and dedicated and attentive editors-in-chief, the Journal presents the public with an in-depth view of the professional consensus in the area of health.

With a seemingly unbroken trajectory in synthesizing what is published nationally and internationally in the best journals 1 in the field of disseminating knowledge and overcoming adversity and challenges as occurs with any living organism composed of thousands of active and intercommunicating cells with tenacity, the journal has attempted to fulfill its professional goals.Its primary objective, namely to ensure that science and technology generated in the SUS and for the SUS, remains a beacon for all those who produce it 2 . Thus, in 2022, 12 editions and 417 articles were published on the most wide-ranging topics in the health industry. Some editions should be highlighted for their relevance: Analysis of the process of deinstitutionalization of people with mental problems; Main infectious diseases present in the country today; SUS management challenges; Equity and justice in health; Diversity and health; Health of the prison population.
