Turistando na Fiocruz! 📸✨

Começando pela estação charmosa, passando pelo trenzinho até chegar ao famoso Castelo Mourisco 🏰 (me senti em um cenário de filme).

E, claro, não podia faltar a parte mais botons para a minha coleção 😎💼.

Fiocruz contributes to regaining measles elimination in Brazil

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) announced on 11/12 that Brazil is once again measles-free. The official certificate was presented to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the Minister of Health, Nísia Trindade. In a ceremony at PAHO's headquarters in Brasília, also on Tuesday, researchers and health authorities who contributed directly to regaining certification were honored by the organization. The ceremony was attended by the director of PAHO, Jarbas Barbosa, the organization's representative in Brazil, Socorro Gross, and Minister Nísia.

Virologist Marilda Siqueira, head of the Laboratory of Respiratory Viruses, Exanthematics, Enteroviruses and Viral Emergencies at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz), was one of those honored. The Laboratory acts as a national reference for the Ministry of Health and a regional reference for the World Health Organization (WHO) for rubella and measles.

In 2016, Brazil achieved measles-free status. However, in 2018, low vaccination coverage allowed the virus to reintroduce itself into the country. Now, the recertification marks the recovery of Americas' status as a measles-free region.

Measles elimination is the result of an effort that began in 1991 with the creation of the then National Measles Control Program, of which IOC's Laboratory has been a part since the beginning, contributing to defining strategies to control and later eliminate the disease.

Brazil's state-run science and technology institute, Fiocruz, has called for a 14-day lockdown to reduce transmission by 40 per cent. Natalia Pasternak, a microbiologist who presides over the Question of Science Institute, pointed to the city of Araraquara as a success story after seeing its cases and deaths drop after imposing a lockdown. "We need coordinated action, and that's probably not going to happen because the federal government has no real interest in pursuing preventative actions," Ms Pasternak said. "[Mayors and governors] are trying to implement preventative measures, but separately and in their own ways. This isn't the best approach, but it's better than nothing."
