Community Voices in Health Governance  Translating Community Participation into Practice in a World of Pluralistic Health System

COMPLUS will examine the changing scape of health systems delivery, particularly the new ways in which public and private care are combined, and what potential role can institutionalised community participation can play in contributing to system effectiveness. COMPLUS will research on what role community participation can play to help foster alignment of bureaucracies, communities and health professionals around improving population health and well-being.

On 3rd Dec 2025, SPARC's COMPLUS team organised a symposium of all health committees to meet each other and share and exchange knowledge around the issues that they are facing and are working with the city to address them. Here are a few glimpses of the event.

With the support of Salzburg Global and the RWJ Foundation, the COMPLUS team at CEBRAP convened a group of researchers committed to the promotion of citizen-centred evaluation in health, to counter the traditional dominance of professionals in assessing health system performance.

As part of the project "Evaluation and Participation in Primary Health Care: A Study in the Public System of the Municipality of São Paulo"; conducted by @cebrap , the research team began a series of technical visits to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in September 2025.

As part of its work in Fortaleza, @cebrap had meetings at the Municipal Health Secretariat of Fortaleza with the new admin, the coordinator of CORAPP, and members of the Research Center of the Municipal School of Health to present the research and discuss joint follow-up actions.
