The BRICS Policy Center / PUC-Rio is launching its new research program, “Global & Public Health”, reinforcing its commitment to producing critical knowledge and promoting agendas aimed at reducing inequalities in the Global South.

Set within an international context marked by complex challenges in the health sector, the program addresses current issues relevant to research and public debate, such as digital health, planetary health, and violence and health.
In doing so, it seeks to contribute to the pluralization of perspectives and voices that make up global and collective health, with a special focus on those that represent the experiences of people in the Global South. Thus, the initiative engages directly with the priorities of BRICS cooperation, which include participation, preparedness, prevention, and health promotion as cross-cutting pillars of action.

The aim of the “Global & Collective Health” program is to integrate research, academic production, and public advocacy, producing interdisciplinary analyses of health policies and systems that recognize structural, economic, and socio-environmental determinants through the integration of different perspectives—academic, institutional, and civil society.
