The document released by the Federal Council last year challenged aspects contained in Decree 741/05, issued by the Department of Health Care (SAS) / Ministry of Health The Standard's management determines the requirement for qualification in Oncology / Oncology Pediatric not only the medical technician in charge of the pediatric oncology services (posture in line with the understanding of CFM), but all medical professionals team members (requirement challenged by medical advice).

In assessing the CFM require titles of all medical staff is obedience unenforceable, taking into account the limited availability of human resources in public health care. Besides not being essential [titrations required] their routine medical practice would be unworkable in the country, because there is, in graduate programs under the responsibility of the state, offering vague enough to demand care for these titrations says the opinion that provided the basis for Resolution newly edited.

Medical Demography The study in Brazil, confirms this understanding. Nearly half of Brazilian physicians (46.43%) have no evidence of specialization. The oncology, in turn, ranks only 27th place in the ranking of the 53 specialties in number of degrees awarded. She concentrates 2577 professionals across the country, which corresponds to 0.96% of the issued securities of specialization in Brazil.

The rapporteur of this document and the CFM Resolution 2.007/13, the counselor Carlos Vital (1st vice president of the organization) emphasizes that efforts should be made by the Ministry of Health to harmonize that said ordinance of SAS with the ethical conceptions Federal Council of Medicine, expressed in two documents approved by its Parliament.
