Abstract:

This study analyzes the work situations experienced by professionals in the health enforcement of medicines at the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Single-case study, qualitative in nature, with an ergological approach. The data were collected during 2020 and 2021. In this period, 18 interviews and 3 online work meetings were made. The discursive practices were systematized in ergodialogical maps, resulting in three categories: the works experienced in the health enforcement of medicines; the variabilities of the organizational context and the renormalizations facing the pandemic. The fragilities of the information systems, the outdated regulatory framework, the performance model, the fragmentation of the work, among others, have caused barriers to the professional’s activity. The conformation of a new way of doing health enforcement of medicines involves the combination of interventions aimed at prevention, detection, and response to the consumption of medicines harmful to health. The necessary transformation goes beyond the restricted function of control and punishment and consolidates itself as a new proactive and dynamic action model, based on health risk management and the implementation of Health Enforcement Good Practices.
