The National Workshop with Native Health and Sanitation Agents, supported by Fiotec, was held in Brasilia between July 16th and 19th. On that occasion discussions were held on the actions performed by Native Health Agents (AIS) and Native Sanitation Agents (AISAN), to build the AIS and AISAN Qualification Program, which should be implemented in partnership with the Technical Schools of the National Health Care System (“Sistema Único de Saúde”) (SUS) starting in the second half of 2014.
Participating in the event were multidisciplinary agents and health professionals from the 34 Special Native Sanitary Districts (DSEI) in Brazil and the decentralized management units of the Native Health Care Subsystem (SasiSUS).
