“…The Salus Platform is available to all municipalities that wish to change this reality. Likewise, it may be useful in cases of leprosy and tuberculosis, which often appear together with syphilis acquired in groups with different vulnerabilities, such as the homeless population; sex workers [ 43 ]; shelter residents; indigenous [ 44 , 45 ]; users of alcohol and other drugs; injecting drug users; persons deprived of liberty [ 46 ]; people in situations of sexual violence; history of other STIs [ 47 ]; multiple sexual partnerships; residing in an area without Primary Care coverage; history of mental health problems; and individuals not covered by the family health strategy.…”

(1) Introduction: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that constitutes a serious public health problem in Brazil and worldwide; (2) Methods: This was a descriptive and exploratory study that sought to analyze and compare the characteristics of Brazilian health systems with a new platform (Salus) developed by the Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health in the scope of notification and management of disease data, including syphilis. In addition, this analysis aimed to assess whether Salus fully meets the necessary data management fields and can be indicated as a tool to improve health management in the context of syphilis in Brazil. (3) Results: In this study, the Salus functionalities were demonstrated and compared with the current Brazilian systems by discovering the existing gaps in the evaluated systems. The gaps found may explain the delay in meeting demands, the difficulty of making routine therapeutic follow-ups, in addition to interference with the vital purpose of follow-up in the epidemiological surveillance of diseases. As a result, Salus demonstrates functionalities that surpass all others and meet case management demands in a superior way to the systems currently used in the country. (4) Conclusions: The Brazilian health information systems related to the response to syphilis do not fulfill the purpose for which they were developed. Instead, they contribute to the fragmentation of health data and information, delays in diagnosis, incomplete case management, and loss of data due to inconsistencies and inadequate reporting. In addition, they are systems without interconnection, which do not articulate epidemiological surveillance actions with primary health care. All these factors may be obscuring accurate data on syphilis in Brazil, resulting in high and unnecessary public spending and late care for users of the Unified Health System (SUS).

“…A interlocução entre as IES e o sistema prisional pode potencializar estratégias de cuidado, de ensino e de produção de conhecimentos nos espaços locais, pautando a formação dos trabalhadores nas necessidades sociais em saúde, na integralidade do atendimento e na rede formada a partir dessas relações. Além disso, capacitar as equipes de saúde facilita a gestão, a promoção da saúde e a prevenção de doenças entre as pessoas privadas de liberdade (Valentim et al, 2022).…”

Resumo A Educação Permanente em Saúde legitimou a educação na saúde com base na aprendizagem significativa, em vivências no cotidiano de trabalho e na solução de problemas de forma coletiva, além de estar pautada no Quadrilátero Ensino-Gestão-Atenção-Controle Social. A pandemia da Covid-19 exigiu novas formas de fazer saúde e educação, principalmente no sistema prisional, onde a superlotação é um impeditivo ao isolamento social. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar, por meio de rodas de conversa virtuais, os desafios encontrados no cotidiano de trabalho e discutir propostas de intervenção com os atores do sistema prisional no período pandêmico, na perspectiva da Educação Permanente em Saúde. Foi utilizada abordagem qualitativa de investigação com caráter descritivo, interpretativo e compreensivo de análise do fenômeno social, por meio da análise de conteúdo temático de Minayo. Da análise temática de conteúdo emergiram quatro categorias: desafios da assistência em saúde no sistema prisional no contexto da pandemia da Covid-19; desafios para a gestão da saúde nos estabelecimentos prisionais; interlocução entre instituições de ensino e sistema prisional; e o controle social e a representação familiar. As rodas de conversa virtuais propiciaram discussões aprofundadas e construções coletivas, propondo encaminhamentos pautados no Quadrilátero da Educação Permanente em Saúde.

“…This law addresses the rights of people deprived of freedom in the Brazilian prison system, being essential for their social reintegration. However, there is still much work to be done to effectively guarantee the rights of this population, which is considered vulnerable, especially regarding health services ( 1 , 16 ).…”

“…Prison health, situated as a human right, in the sense of the universal right to health, cannot be overlooked because its effects, in addition to affecting this specific population, influence the health of the community, and consequently, public health ( 1 , 4 , 11 , 17 ). Therefore, it is essential to strengthen comprehensive and universal health, which can be developed through effective public policy interventions aimed at reducing social inequalities and promoting equity, in line with the goals of the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ( 18 – 22 ).…”

Education, with an emphasis on prison health, has acted as a policy inducing changes in work processes, which the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) has used, and which is present in permanent health education, which promotes health care for people deprived of liberty. This article aims to present an analysis of the impacts of the strategy of massive education on prison health in Brazil from the perspective of health professionals and other actors operating in the Brazilian prison system. The data used in the study come from a questionnaire consisting of 37 questions applied nationwide between March and June 2022. Responses were collected from students who completed the course “Health Care for People Deprived of Freedom” of the learning pathway “Prison System”, available in the Virtual Learning Environment of the Brazilian Health System (AVASUS). This course was offered nationally, whose adhesion (enrollment) occurred spontaneously, i.e., the course was not a mandatory. The data collected allowed us to analyze the impacts of massive education on prison health. The study also shows that the search for the course is made by several areas of knowledge, with a higher incidence in the health area, but also in other areas, such as humanities, which also work directly with the guarantee of the rights of people deprived of liberty, which are professionals in the areas of social work, psychology, and education. The analysis based on the data suggests that the massive education mediated by technology through the courses of the learning pathway, besides disseminating knowledge–following the action plan of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)–, are an effective tool to promote resilience in response to prison health and care demands of people deprived of liberty.
