Brazil 2026 Health & Black Women Initiatives

Entities: Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) · Conceição Evaristo · Maria Júlia Reis Nogueira · July das Pretas campaign · Império Serrano

Overview

The SUS digital overhaul continues under the Agir programme, installing unified electronic health records, barcode medication verification and real‑time decision‑support tools in public hospitals while meeting LGPD standards. Digital director Kelvin Cantarelli says the effort aims to raise care quality and cut clinicians’ administrative load. The Super Centro Carioca de Saúde (SCCS) in Rio’s Benfica district has performed 3.4 million procedures since 2021, covering roughly 30 % of the city’s SUS‑regulated slots via SISREG. Annual slots have climbed from 799 000 in 2020 to a projected 2.6 million in 2025, with more than 12 million offered since 2021. High‑complexity services such as intravitreal injections, peritoneal dialysis, MRI with sedation and scleral‑lens dispensing are now routine, and plans for 2026 include expanding ophthalmology, fully activating surgical rooms, doubling glass supply and opening an advanced lens laboratory. A second SCCS opened in Campo Grande in 2023. In Sinop, a municipal decennial plan to combat domestic and family violence against women has been drafted, defining four axes—Education and Communication, Attendance and Public Safety, Justice and Victim Assistance, Governance—and targeting rapid protection orders, expanded legal and psychological aid, and specific support for Black, Indigenous and quilombola women. Cultural actions for Black women progressed through July das Pretas. A national podcast hosted by CUT’s anti‑racism secretary and a radio tribute to writer Conceição Evaristo highlighted the campaign’s legal basis, the concept of “escrevivência,” and its presence in curricula and Carnival samba‑enredo. Film festivals across the country amplified regional voices: the 54th Gramado Festival screened a documentary on Xavante filmmaker Divino Tserewahú and a short by Wesley Gabriel; the Curta Canedo festival entered its curatorial phase for its 10th edition; and the 19th Visões Periféricas showcased 69 films from 18 states, including three Goiás productions, underscoring growing visibility of peripheral Brazilian cinema.
