In recent years, there has been an ongoing analysis and discussion regarding how to introduce public participation into HTA (Health Technology Assessment) processes in the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS). In Brazil, community participation is one of the guidelines of the SUS present in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and one of the principles outlined in Laws 8,080/1990 and 8,142/1990. In 2011, Law 12,401 was enacted, officializing the participation of civil society in the HTA process into the SUS. Besides, many activities are being developed to improve the mechanisms of patient and public involvement (PPI) in that process, what will increase PPI in the Brazilian HTA process. Usually all recommendations issued by CONITEC are submitted to Public Consultation (PC) for 20 days. The contributions are received by means of a form available on CONITEC’s website. In late 2014, a specific PC form was created in order to capture the perspective of patients and caretakers related to the technologies assessed in CONITEC. Thereafter, the contributions started to be received in two forms: one for “technical and scientific contribution” and the other for “opinion or experience”, in which patients and caretakers may give information about their experiences regarding technologies under assessment. In the same year, CONITEC started a wide disclosure regarding the PC through social networks, website and email lists aiming to reach the interested audience and ensure a greater participation. The interested people may register on the website to receive information by a monthly newsletter. In 2015, the production of summary versions of CONITEC technical reports prepared in a simplified language was started, making the participants’ positioning easier. The implementation of the strategies above has motivated the public participation. There was an increase of over 400% in the number of annual contributions: 2,584 contributions in 2014 to 13,619 contributions in 2015.
