“…Project, the main goals are to strengthen syphilis testing throughout Brazil, improve the monitoring of infection indicators and facilitate the access of managers to this data. Local laboratories, in association with the sentinel services for syphilis and other STIs, play an important role in contributing with the access to patient testing for those who are suspicious of the disease, an aspect that quickens the return of the results to the patient and, thus, promotes a better direction for treatment and monitoring of infections (8). Integration of these results to the set of indicators of health vigilance is an important point for the coverage of the syphilis response network in Brazil because it strengthens the network which, in turn, contributes toward the improvement of health systems resilience in facing the syphilis epidemic.…”

“…Between the years of 2010 and 2018, according to data from the 2020 Syphilis Epidemiological Bulletin (8)(9)(10)(11)(12), Brazil has registered a substantive amount of registered cases in all regions of the country. In September of 2017, after an extensive audit, the Brazilian Federal Court of Auditors (TCU) issued an operational report (Acórdão n • 2019/2017-PL) on the way the Brazilian federal government acted to control syphilis within the country.…”

“…In the year 2018, the "Syphilis No!" Project was initiated throughout the national territory as a tool for health public policy induction to respond to the syphilis epidemic (8)(9)(10)(11). The project was implemented through the Decentralized Execution Terms (TED 54/2017 and TED 111/2017) struck between the MoH and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN).…”

“…Faced with the necessity of improvement of health vigilance activities, the concept of health situation rooms (or intelligence rooms) was created, consisting in the consolidation of data regarding population health, making available information of epidemiological and operational indicators related to mortality, death vigilance, disease control and health promotion. This information favors the development of analysis which subsidizes the promotion of public policies and the evaluation of interventions made (8,15).…”

“…To make the syphilis diagnosis it is necessary to associate the user's history, the clinical data and the detection of antigens or antibodies through laboratory tests. It is worth noting that this diagnosis must occur in two steps: trial and confirmation (8,12). In this context, the MoH has identified a need to improve and started an action to restructure 17 (seventeen) local laboratories throughout Brazil in association to the sentinel services that centralize STIs-related medical services.…”

This article aims to develop management solutions to accompany the processes of acquiring and distributing equipment and/or materials needed for the restructuring of associated laboratories to the sentinel services (Sentinel Laboratories) for syphilis and other sexually transmitted infection in the scope of the “Syphilis No!” Project. To this end, we have taken steps to create an overview of the restructuring project for the sentinel laboratories, define the stages of project execution, monitor the implementation of the project, and elaborate a standard operating procedure for the delivery of equipment and/or materials to the sentinel laboratories. Among the results, we highlight: the detailed workflow for the process of public procurement through direct purchases or bidding; the workflow for storage of the equipment and materials; the standard operating procedures (SOP) for contact with the laboratories; and the SOP for delivery of items acquired for the sentinel laboratories.

The Virtual Learning Environment of the Brazilian Health System (AVASUS) is a free and open distance education platform of the Ministry of Health (MS). AVASUS is a scalable virtual learning environment that has surpassed 800,000 users, 2 million enrollments, and 310 courses in its catalog. The objective of this paper was to assess the impacts of the educational offerings on health services and AVASUS course participants' professional practice. This study analyzed data from AVASUS, the Brazilian National Registry of Health Care Facilities (CNES), the Brazilian Occupational Classification (CBO), and a questionnaire applied to 720-course participants from five regions of Brazil. After acquiring and extracting data, computational methods were used for the evaluation process. Only the responses of 462 participants were considered for data analysis, as they had a formal link to CNES. The results showed that respondents recommended 76.2% of AVASUS courses to peers. Accordingly, the quality of educational offerings motivated 81.3% of such recommendations. In addition, 75.6% of course participants who answered the questionnaire also indicated that AVASUS course contents contribute to enhancing existing health services in the health facilities where they work. Finally, 24.6% of all responses mentioned that courses available in AVASUS were essential in offering new health services in such facilities.

Syphilis is increasingly prevalent around the world as a result of complex factors. In Brazil, the government declared a syphilis epidemic in 2016 and then set a strategic agenda to respond to this serious public health problem. In a joint effort, Brazil’s Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) recommended that novel and diversified health communication strategies should be developed, which the “Syphilis No” project (SNP) later conducted through nationwide mass communication campaigns. We performed exploratory data analysis to identify and understand the results of three health communication campaigns by considering syphilis data trends in Brazil. The SNP, by using traditional and innovative means of communication, focused on multiple target audiences to encourage behavior changes through awareness and syphilis knowledge acquisition via the internet. In addition, the SNP disseminated information on syphilis testing, prevention, and treatment through social media and multiple media outlets. We observed that the period of the health campaigns corresponded to the period when the syphilis testing uptake increased and the number of reported cases dropped. Thus, our findings indicate that public health responses could substantially benefit from the use of health communication campaigns as a tool for health promotion, education, and transformation.
