Abstract

The sanitary surveillance activity is multidimensional. To form a nimbler health protection system and to regulate sanitary actions, the Federal Law 9.782/99 created the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA) endowed with regulatory power. This power has constitutional and legal limits. Public health issues asre framed by the rule of law. Regulatory acts are bound by law. Therefore, ANVISA's power is to be restrictively interpreted. The answer to this is highlighted by Sanitary Law as a specific law branch made of particular rules, as a regulatory law.
