Vice Presidency of Production and Innovation in Health (VPPIS)

The Vice Presidency of Production and Innovation in Health (VPPIS) has the mission of promoting and integrating production and innovation activities at Fiocruz in order to meet and subsidize public policies for the Economic and Industrial Health Complex (Ceis), which ensures the articulation of the productive health complex.

The activities of VPPIS reflect the priority given by Fiocruz to meeting the national demand for a technological and industrial base compatible with the economic development proposals, with the ideas of the Unified Health System (SUS) and the pharmaceutical assistance policy of the Ministry of Health.

Its actions articulate productive and social aspects of health, contributing to SUS sustainability, to ensure the population's access to medicines and to strongly influence the regulation of prices on the market of health supplies.
