Brasília – The Ministry of Health has opened a public consultation for Primary Care Guideline – Men’s Health, with contributions accepted until October 16, 2025.

The upcoming guideline will be the first CAB focused specifically on men’s health in the Brazilian public health system. It builds upon the National Policy for Integral Men’s Health (PNAISH) and aims to deliver recommendations for men aged 20 to 59 across five strategic axes: access and welcoming; sexual and reproductive health; paternity and care; prevalent diseases; and violence and accident prevention.

Officials emphasized the importance of social participation, inviting health professionals, managers, researchers, and the public to contribute so that the content properly reflects the needs and specificities of men in diverse contexts.

Once finalized, the CAB will support primary health care professionals in delivering integral care that considers masculinities as social determinants of health and allows for adaptations to local realities. The consultation was announced during the National Forum of State Men’s Health Coordinators, held in Brasília, where the Agenda Nacional de Saúde do Homem 2025/2026 was also presented.
