The scientific process is a priority for any public health system because the results, positives or not, contribute to optimize processes and to reduce costs. In critical situations the evidences provided by investigators can determine the permanency, modification or even elimination of certain programs or methods of the daily practice. Consequently those who design and/or to drive investigations need to be responsible and to receive the major attention from the society and the politicians. Science, its advances, its challenges and mainly its results, cannot be locked in laboratories or scientific institutions; on the contrary, they should open up to the society for their timely implementation.

Palabras clave : scientific research; society; responsibly.
