“…In this context, the Health Units as care spaces must be in conditions that guarantee the safety and quality of care, and they are therefore subject to sanitary norms and are included in the scope of Sanitary Surveillance, given their function as the responsible institution for the protection, control and reduction of health risks (Silva, Costa, Lucchese, 2018). Sanitary Surveillance as it is institutionally organized in Brazil has no equivalent systems in other parts of the world, although the regulatory activities are universal practices (Costa, Souto, 2014;Silva, Costa, Lucchese, 2018). In what concerns the performance in health services, sanitary surveillance can be considered a specific component of this system, since its action requires a set of knowledge and practices of a diverse, multiprofessional and interinstitutional nature without which the health services could not fulfill their main role of providing comprehensive health care to users (Costa, Souto, 2014;Teixeira, Souza, Paim, 2014).…”
