The RPAS aims to reach beyond the teachings
of the Cambridge University: that the core activity
of a research and academic institution is to
publish all knowledge it produces.
It is important that the dissemination of
information generate knowledge, giving health
agents and managers means to take part in this
discussion from the formulation of hypotheses to
the participation in discussions on the results,
particularly when this knowledge is generated by
bodies linked to Brazil’s Ministry of Health.
