Formation, Training and Improvement in Youth Oncology in the Scope of the National Program of Support to Cancer Oncology: a Panorama of the Triennium 2016-2018

Abstract

Introduction: The National Program of Support to Cancer Oncology (Pronon) is the result of a partnership between the Ministries of Health and of Finance, which together determine a global amount of tax relief to be used each cycle. Among the priority themes of the program are the youth oncology and it is possible to submit projects by the Health Institutions of the Third sector in the areas of assistance, research and professional training. Objective: Present a panorama of the triennium 2016-2018 referring to the projects focused on this theme, in the area of training, training and improvement of human resources. Method: Study and qualitative and quantitative analysis were done, taking as a sample all the projects submitted to the Ministry of Health, within Pronon, in the period. Results: It was possible to observe that the number of projects presented in the scope of Pronon in the subject of youth oncology is very low, representing 14.28% of the total of projects presented in the triennium and only one project was approved. Conclusion: We conclude, therefore, that there is a shortage of projects, both presented and approved, involving this theme. In this way, it is sought to encourage the Third Sector institutions that act in the provision of oncological services to participate in the program through projects with technical operational capacity, considered of relevance to the Unified Health System and its users.
