The Technical Director of Sespa, Carla Figueiredo, assessed that the objective of the State's work, in conjunction with the federal government and municipalities, was successfully achieved, demonstrating the importance of the SUS (Unified Health System) for Brazil. “The result of the health sector's work at COP30 demonstrates the potential of SUS, the robustness of the health assistance structure guaranteed by the State of Pará, the quality of the services that Sespa provides to the population, and the importance of the tripartite work involving Sespa, the Ministry of Health, and the Municipal Health Departments of the Metropolitan Region of Belém and adjacent areas,” reiterated the manager.
The Deputy Secretary of Health Policy Management, Heloisa Guimarães, also made a positive assessment of all the work developed in the health area, ensuring the necessary safety for all participants and workers of the conference. “We managed to decentralize the services and thus avoid overloading the emergency services of the RMB. Certainly, SUS and health in the State of Pará emerge strengthened, demonstrating that Pará is prepared for other mass events,” she stated.
The State Secretary of Public Health, Ivete Vaz, acknowledged the importance of all Sespa employees, other public health institutions, and private network workers for the work done during COP30. “We thank all the professionals involved for their dedication and commitment to the development of actions before, during, and after the major event held in Belém,” said the head of Sespa.
