Abstract
In this interview, Jairnilson Paim, coordinator of the Health Policy Analysis Project in Brazil (2003-2017) and of the Political Analysis in Health’s Observatory (OAPS), supported by CNPq, highlights the OAPS’s purposes in socializing the knowledge produced in research and to stimulate the political analysis in health from facts in the conjuncture. He reports that the Observatory has three layers, one consisting of 11 research axes, another showing the specific policies accompanying and the most visible that disseminates news and analysis of the conjuncture. It emphasizes a positive appreciation of the OAPS experience, highlighting the theoretical-methodological rigor and the search for evidence with the greatest possible objectivity, although inspired by democratic and emancipatory values for Brazilian society.
