EDITORIAL

During the year 2013, Saúde e Sociedade initiated important developments in its editorial project.

Interviews, thematic dossiers and English versions of many of the articles are being published, with the aim of including topics and discussions of current interest and increasing their penetration among those who study and work in public health, in Brazil and all over the world.

The journal is increasingly being regarded as an international scientific publication, receiving articles from researchers from other countries, dealing with diverse health and social realities and, consequently, broadening and enriching national debate.

On closing volume 22, various topics relevant to the field of public/collective health stand out in the current issue, such as financing; SUS administration; mental health; the interface between health, religion and culture; the role of communication and education in health and the discussion of municipal sanitation policies, as well as other topics from researchers in different geographical regions. We would like to thank the authors, partners, staff and editors for their collaboration throughout the year, and highlight the important role they have collectively played in creating and improving this journal.
