Several Agencies Request Manifesto for Increase in Vacancies in New Public Competition for Anvisa. The Current Authorized Competition Has Only 50 Vacancies for Specialist.

Last Tuesday (15), a manifesto for increasing the number of vacancies in the Anvisa competition was sent to the Minister of State for Management and Innovation in Public Services, Esther Dweck. The document was developed by the Brazilian Alliance of Innovative Industry in Health (ABIIS) in conjunction with 15 other health sector associations.

The Current Public Competition for Anvisa Was Authorized and Has 50 Vacancies

The Anvisa competition was authorized on July 19, with the provision of 50 vacancies for the position of specialist in regulation and sanitary surveillance. According to the document, the publication of the announcement should occur within up to six months, that is, by mid-January.

The specialist in regulation and sanitary surveillance is responsible for the regulation, inspection, control, and oversight of facilities for producing and marketing food, sanitary supplies, and medications. Thus, the specialist is capable of formulating and evaluating projects and programs related to regulatory activities.

The professional may also develop regulations for market oversight, in addition to coordinating oversight actions that present high complexity.

Requirements to Participate in the Anvisa Competition and Details of the Manifesto

To compete for the position of specialist in regulation and sanitary surveillance, it is necessary to have a higher education degree, and successful candidates will receive an initial salary of R$ 16,000, in addition to a food allowance of R$ 658.

In the manifesto, the entities highlight the need to increase the number of vacancies available in the Anvisa competition, given that the personnel shortage in regulatory agencies is a reality that has been impacting federal public administration for years, leading to a backlog of tasks, work overload, and, consequently, a decline in the performance and quality of services provided. The following agencies signed the Manifesto:

  • FarmaBrasil Group;
  • Health Coalition;
  • ABIIS;
  • Interfarma;
  • ABIMED;
  • ABRAIDI;
  • ProGenerics;
  • ABIQUIFI;
  • ABRAMED;
  • Sinaemo;
  • Institute Ethics Health;
  • ABIMO;
  • ABIFINA;
  • CBDL;
  • Sindusfarma;
  • ALANAC.

Details of the Last Anvisa Public Competition

The last Anvisa competition for the position of specialist was held in 2013, when 157 vacancies were made available for the position, with placements in Brasília.

The organizing body at that time was Cetro. The objective test consisted of 120 questions distributed as follows:

  • Public Policies and Public Management – 10 questions;
  • Sanitary Surveillance – 10 questions;
  • Specific Knowledge – 60 questions;
  • Regulation – 10 questions;
  • Constitutional and Administrative Law – 10 questions;
  • Foreign Language – English – 10 questions;
  • Portuguese Language – 10 questions.

An essay question on regulation and sanitary surveillance was also applied. It is worth noting that in 2016 there was also a public competition where 78 vacancies were opened for a reserve list only for the position of administrative technician.

At that time, the organizing body was Cebraspe and the selection process included an objective test with 120 items, of which 50 were basic knowledge and 70 were specific knowledge.

About the National Health Surveillance AgencyAnvisa

The National Health Surveillance Agency is a federal regulatory agency whose mission is to promote the health of the Brazilian population through sanitary control.

Since the 1990s, the country has undergone a strong process of privatization, which transferred the provision of public services traditionally provided by the state to the private sector, through concessions, permissions, and authorizations.

Anvisa’s institutional objective is to promote the health protection of the population through sanitary control of the production and sale of products and services subject to sanitary surveillance, including environments, processes, technologies, and inputs related to them, as well as controlling ports, airports, and borders.
