Paulo Freire considered Popular Education (PE) as an emancipatory process, through debate and critical action, as a dimension of human existence. This text aims to conduct a narrative literature review on the articulations of Paulo Freire's ideas with Popular Health Surveillance (PHS) actions based on his contributions to Education and Health. The text presents how the contributions of Paulo Freire and Popular Health Education inspired the construction of Popular Health Surveillance, which seeks to promote the transformation of local reality in the face of rights violations and advocate for life.

Article Synopsis
- Recent MAGNIMS-CMSC-NAIMS recommendations on MRI use in multiple sclerosis (MS) have been crucial for enhancing patient treatment.
- Implementation of these guidelines is inconsistent across various countries, indicating the need to tackle local challenges.
- A group of 14 MS neurologists from 16 centers in Latin America convened to evaluate MRI access, standardization of protocols, and opportunities for collaborative research in MS.
As human and economic resources are limited, especially in Latin America (LATAM), it is important to identify research priorities to improve multiple sclerosis (MS) patients care in the region. The objective was to generate a multidisciplinary consensus on research priorities in MS for patients care in LATAM by involving healthcare professionals and MS patient associations. METHODS: consensus was reached through a four-step modified Delphi method designed to identify and rate research priorities in MS in LATAM.
