Vol. 20 No. 1 (2026): Cadernos ESP - Revista Cientí­fica da Escola de Saúde Pública do Ceará

"Scientific production in public health has been advancing within a context marked by rapid epidemiological transformations, persistent health challenges, and the need for increasingly agile, evidence-based responses. In this setting, research plays a central role in strengthening policies, organizing health services, and improving the living conditions of the population.

It is within this context that we celebrate the launch of the 2026 edition of Cadernos ESP CE, which has established itself as a strategic space for the dissemination of knowledge, critical reflection, and the recognition of successful experiences in the field of public health. More than a repository of articles, the journal affirms itself as an instrument of dialogue among academia, health services, and public administration, contributing to the strengthening of Brazil’s Unified Health System (SUS)."
