Ivan points to a National Health Council (CNS) decision that recommended that the Ministry of Health recognize Umbanda, Candomblé Terreros, and barnyards as equipment that promotes complementary health practices.

Since the publication of the CNS Recommendation, opponents of Lula’s government have claimed that the SUS would include umbanda and candomblé as forms of Medical treatment – this is not true.

Supporters of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva used the term “make character” to highlight the government’s positive achievements, and opponents of the Workers’ Party used it to criticize the misfortunes.

As a court official, Ivan Dutra works for the Court of Justice of Ceará (TJ-CE), the highest judicial body in Ceará.

In a memorandum, TJ states that it “denies any and all acts of religious intolerance, prejudice, or discrimination that violate freedom of belief or the freedom to practice religious denominations.”

The court also highlighted that the “Code of Ethics for Officials of the Judiciary in the State of Ceará prescribes, as follows: an express duty, which is to maintain neutrality in the face of religious influences, in order to prevent them from affecting the impartiality of their professional responsibilities.”.

Finally, TJ stated that it would adopt disciplinary measures to determine the behavior of the server.

Ceará Civil Police (PC-CE) reported that they are investigating “possible religious intolerance” and stressed that victims must complete a police report (BO) to aid the investigation.

CNS decision is only a recommendation

Resolution 715 of 2023 of the National Health Council, published on July 20, has sparked controversy on social networks since opponents of Lula’s government claimed that This procedure will establish candomblé and umbanda as a form of treatment in SUS.

The central nervous system is a body whose purpose is to monitor health policies implemented by the Ministry of Health and to recommend changes and improvements. Its members are elected and the board is made up of SUS users, government representatives and health professionals.

CNS decisions do not have the power to initiate new therapies. The transcripts provide recommendations only to the Ministry of Health, which may or may not accept the proposal.

In point 46 of Resolution 715, the National Security Council recommends that the Ministry recognize “Manifestations of the folk culture of traditional peoples of African descent and traditional territorial units of African descent (terreiros, terreiras, barns, kennels, etc.) as complementary health promotion and healing equipment for SUS”.

recommendation It will not replace medical treatments with religious practicesBut I would like to add these practices to my list of therapeutic resources aimed at preventing disease and creating a therapeutic relationship with the patient.

If the Ministry of Health accepts point 46 of Resolution 715, practices of African origin, such as umbanda and candomblé, will be incorporated into the National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices of the SUS, which already includes therapies such as yoga, homeopathy, meditation, biodance, ozone therapy, among others. other.
