Interview with Fernando Pigatto – President of National Health Council (06/25/2021)

Abstract

Interview with Fernando Pigatto, President of National Health Council (CNS), carried  out remotely, on 25/06/2021, when the  country reached the mark of 500,000 deaths  from the COVID-19 pandemic. The interviewers aimed, through open  questions, to collected information that  would: i) present the performance of the  CNS in the pandemic context, in special its  challenges and advances; and ii) promote  the interviewee’s reflection on fundamental  aspects of democracy and  social participation, especially the  relationship between the Council and civil  society and political society, the role of CNS  in the decision-making process of health policies (actor and/or arena?), and the  Council-Conference interaction.
