Current Issue
This issue of CIADS (v.14, n.4) highlights the connection between COP 30, the work environment, and public health, opening a set of articles that reflect the breadth and vitality of the field of Health Law.
The collected texts delve into themes that cut across ethical disputes, political tensions, and structural challenges: from the ethical and regulatory harmonization of clinical trials in Portuguese-speaking African countries — the subject of the CT-Luso article — to the impacts of emerging technologies, persistent territorial inequalities, and the often-invisibilized forms of violence, while also addressing struggles for social participation and recognition. This issue illuminates the contradictions of the present and raises new questions about the future of public health and social justice.
