Iberoamerican Journal of Health Law

Current Issue

Vol. 14 No. 3 (2025)
Published September 2, 2025
(JUL./SEPT. 2025)

This edition of CIADS (v.14, n.3) opens with an editorial dedicated to COP 30, to be held in Belém, Pará, highlighting its potential to go beyond the limits of diplomacy and the environmental agenda to establish itself as a central issue of global public health.

The articles bring together a plural and current view of the field of Health Law. Among the topics covered are the causal factors of occupational mental illness and the impacts of the Brazilian military dictatorship on the right to health. Urgent issues such as misinformation about medical cannabis, menstrual injustice, and the bioethical and legal analysis of embryo disposal are also discussed.

In addition, the edition includes reflections on the ethical and legal challenges of using artificial intelligence in the management of Alzheimer's patient data, the rights of pregnant women to access labor analgesia, and the interface between the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court and the formulation of public health policies.
