Articulação entre os interesses produtivos e sociais da saúde no Sistema Nacional de Inovação de Saúde: a experiência do Instituto Nacional de Traumatologia e Ortopedia (INTO)
Abstract: This article has two parts. The first discusses the relationship between industry and health interests based on three different but non-mutually exclusive logics: (a) independent; (b) divergent; and (c) convergent. The second part describes the experience at the Brazilian National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO) with a technology management model. The accumulated expertise in orthopedics at INTO can favor Brazil's domestic medical equipment industry without jeopardizing the country's social health needs. This means directing the production of feasible technologies adapted to the national reality, with a focus on safety and quality, without burdening the public coffers and by overcoming the country's dependency on imported products. The proposal is to promote socioeconomic development through a virtuous circle by attracting reserves and fomenting national competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets while improving social conditions and access to health.
