Márcio Junqueira

Márcio Junqueira is the executive secretary of the National Council of Municipal Health Secretaries (Conasem) in Brazil. He has been vocal about the challenges facing the Mais Acesso à Especialistas program, emphasizing that the program's execution remains low, with less than 10% of its planned goals achieved. Junqueira is hopeful that by the beginning of the second semester of 2024, the program will be more widely implemented across the country, as it aims to address the long waiting times for health procedures in the public healthcare system.
