She has become a leading reference on the subject due to her extensive knowledge of international law, with a focus on health. In this interview, Deisy Ventura offers some reflections on global health and discusses the handling of the pandemic in Brazil and its human rights implications. According to Ventura, the Brazilian government had a systematic policy for the spread of the virus, and the pandemic should be treated as a matter of memory, truth, and justice.

In each of these debates, science and politics converged and were the subject of fierce discussions that, in some countries, further divided society. The pandemic also revealed the coexistence of long-standing precariousness, tensions and resiliencies in health systems. In this sense, it is worth mentioning the inequality in the distribution of supplies, initially masks and personal protective equipment and, later on, vaccines, as well as the inequitable, ineffective or non-existent presence and distribution of trained human resources with decent working conditions. Likewise, analysts called attention to the existence of a pattern of state response to the pandemic, initially focused almost exclusively on the hospital, to the detriment of primary health care (Giovanella et al., 2021), whose process of institutional consolidation, its territorial capillarity and its importance in disease control existed before the pandemic in countries such as Brazil (Paiva, Pires-Alves, 2021). Latin America was also the epicenter of covid-19 for much of 2020 and 2021, both for the highest number of cases and highest fatality rate, as well as for hosting the highest percentage of infected people in relation to its population globally. The result indicates that it is one of the world's most socially unequal and still biomedically dependent regions. The region was also the scene of extreme cases. These include the abandonment of the sick and corpses in the streets of Guayaquil, Ecuador, and the mass burials in Manaus, Brazil, in early 2020. Government responses marked by negligence and genocide as in Jair Bolsonaro's Brazil; collapsed hospitals and scarce resources stretched to their limits; frustrated attempts to counterpose public health to the economy; strenuous efforts against adversity by health professionals, patients' families and activists; the glorification of magical but ineffective remedies such as chloroquine; corruption in the purchase of vaccines; and multiple situations in which health personnel were first glorified and then subjected to violence as vehicles of contagion. With particular intensity there was a collapse of human resources in the countries of the region that revealed a history of negligence and minimization of this central human element of health care and prevention (Agostoni, 2021; Ramacciotti, 2023). The purpose of this supplement of História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos is to gather original and relevant studies that, based on covid-19, establish a contextualized dialogue between the past and the present. Therefore, the articles discuss how the complex relationship between science, society and politics is magnified in health disasters;

During that period not only did the advances in medical science make possible the identification and containment of numerous contagious diseases; it was also a time when the consolidation of formal medical institutions and their interaction with both national and international actors contributed to shape the definitions and solutions of public health problems. Disease prevention strategies were influenced by medical, scientific, and technical innovations and by the political values and commitments of the period, and Mexico experienced profound and far-reaching political, economic, and social transformations: the apogee, crisis, and downfall of the long Porfirio Día...

A pesquisadora se tornou uma das principais referências no assunto por seu amplo conhecimento de direito internacional com foco em saúde. Na entrevista, ela apresenta reflexões relacionadas à saúde global, além de discutir a gestão da pandemia no país e suas implicações para os direitos humanos. De acordo com a pesquisadora, houve no Brasil uma política governamental sistemática de disseminação do vírus, e a pandemia deveria ser tratada como uma questão de memória, verdade e justiça.

Cómo se gestó esa colaboración de saberes expertos, cuáles fueron algunos de los diagnósticos y propuestas que realizaron, y cuáles algunas de las limitaciones que enunciaron, son temáticas que no obstante su relevancia, no han ocupado un espacio destacado en las investigaciones históricas. Con ello, este artículo busca contribuir al estudio de la primacía que la resolución del problema médico-asistencial tuvo a lo largo de la década de 1940 y durante los años iniciales de la década siguiente, un momento de intensa innovación y ampliación de los espacios hospitalarios.
