Resumo(s)
The Virtual Learning Environment of the Brazilian Health System (AVASUS) was
developed by the Laboratory for Technological Innovation in Health (LAIS) and the
Secretariat of Distance Education (SEDIS) at the Federal University of Rio Grande
do Norte (UFRN) in partnership with Brazil’s Ministry of Health (MoH). AVASUS
provides open educational resources in the health field and has emerged as the third
largest platform for massive health education globally, with more than one million
students. Among the various learning pathways AVASUS offers, some specifically
focus on meeting the educational needs to address public health emergencies and
overlooked health contexts. The main argument in this study is that technology mediated lifelong learning in health is an effective strategy for achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. This chapter analyzes
the pathways related to COVID-19, syphilis, and prison health, focusing on the con tributions towards achieving SDGs 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 16, and 17 and fulfilling the Global
Health Security Agenda. Our analysis revealed two key findings. Lifelong learning
in health (i) prompts decision-making on public health policies and (ii) contributes
towards implementing the SDGs. Ultimately, AVASUS should be recognized as a tool
to improve health services and support policy-making
