In addition to Augusto Aras and Jimmy de Oliveira, Minister of Health Marcelo Quiroga; National Council for Justice (CNJ) Advisor Richard Bae Kim; the representative of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Brazil, Socorro Galeano; Chair of the National Council of Prosecutors of the State and Union Ministries General (CNPG), Norma Angelica Cavalcanti; President of the National Council of Health Trustees (CONAS), Nicio de Medeiros; Director of the National Council of Municipal Health Secretariats (Conasems), Artur Amorim; and the principal of Fiocruz State School, Luciana Sepúlveda.
