In all Brazilian regions many efforts have been made to put into practice the governmental policy on professional qualifications in the area of health. The Project of Professional Training for Workers in the Area of Nursing (PROFAE) is the highest expression of this objective and has, as its basic characteristics, decentralisation and the establishment of partnerships in the country's various regions. This reporting, prepared by the Regional Agency of Minas Gerais, emphasizes those aspects of PROFAE's activities that - together with all other institutions involved in the implementation of the Basic Level Completion (CEF) and the Professional Qualification of Nurse Assistants (CQP) courses - have contributed to bring about a number of significant advancements.
