Supervisory role and social participation
The operation is part of the set of permanent external control actions, focused not only on the identification of problems, but also to the proposition of solutions that contribute to the improvement of public management.
Secex secretary Fernanda Leite Santana stressed that the choice of health as an supervisory priority is a direct result of the social listening promoted by the court.
“At the beginning of the year we held a public consultation for the preparation of the Annual External Control Plan (PACE).

This surveillance in the emergency room is a concrete response to this demand of society and demonstrates the commitment of the ECA to listen and meet the expectations of the population,” he said.
