Conitec Public Consultations: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to participate in public consultations to influence which new medical treatments are covered by the public health system in Brazil.
Conitec Public Consultations allow individuals to share their views and feedback on whether new medical treatments and health technologies should be officially included in the public health system.
Who it's for
This process is open to any citizen. Whether you are a patient seeking specific care, a family member, or a concerned member of the public, everyone has the right to participate in these discussions.
What you get
By participating, you gain the ability to influence which new medical treatments the public health system covers. This means your input can help shape the decisions that determine which medicines, procedures, or medical technologies become available to the general population through the public healthcare network.
What it costs you
Participating in these consultations is free of charge. There are no application fees or registration costs required to voice your opinion. The only real cost is the time you must dedicate to reading the relevant documentation and preparing your feedback to ensure your voice is heard effectively.
The catch to know
The primary difficulty for most people is the complexity of the information. The language used during these consultations is often highly technical, involving specialized medical and scientific terminology. You may need to spend extra time deciphering these details to fully understand the specific treatment or technology being discussed.

- Access the official government portal.
- Locate the section dedicated to current public consultations (Consulta pública).
- Carefully read the technical documentation provided for the specific treatment or technology currently under review.
- Submit your feedback and comments through the official online channels provided on the site.
