Acknowledgments
With a mix of emotions, we concluded the 1st International Symposium on Quaternary Prevention! 🧠✨ It all started with an unusual idea that became a reality thanks to the support of many incredible people. We thank Julia, Débora, Miguel, Augustina, Charles, Armando, Anna Beatriz, and the students from the UFSC Family and Community Medicine League who ensured the organization of the symposium, and João, who handled the live broadcast of the event on YouTube. We also extend our gratitude to the collaborators who, with dedication and generosity, made this event possible: UFSC, SUMEFAC, UNICAMP, SUS, and the Ministry of Health.
We cannot forget to mention all the speakers who dedicated their time and study to share a bit of their knowledge with us. Miguel Pizzanelli, Mônica Nivelo, Marc Jamoulle, Carlos Martins, Charles Tesser, Armando Norman, Jardel C. de Oliveira, Ana Paula Santana, Felipe Monte, Ana Caroline Secco, Angelmar Roman, Juan Gervas, Carolina Arbelom, Barbara Kreusch Pacheco, Rafaela Luiza Kretze, Débora Zichtl Pichetti, Rodrigo Derech, Juan Erviti, Henrique Sater, and Miguel Depallens, thank you so much.
Without the participation of all APS health professionals who joined us in person or online, this event wouldn’t have come to life: we deeply appreciate your trust and credibility.
This symposium is not just a milestone but also an invitation to reflect on a more ethical medical practice centered on people’s well-being. Let’s continue together in this movement for conscious and empathetic healthcare! 💙🙌
