Abstract
This article focuses the sectoral dimension of the national systems of innovation (NSI), highlighting the health innovation system and its connection with mental health. On the basis of traditional science and technology (S&T) indicators – articles and patents, respectively – the hierarchical clusters approach is used to investigate countries characteristics and distributions. Considerable discontinuity in the health sector is noticed regarding scientific and technological productions between developed and developing countries, evidencing problems that developing countries need to overcome in order to catch up. Brazil has a balanced scientific and technological production in health but only scientific production in mental health. It is expected that the country takes advantage of its scientific potential and move forward to encourage the productive sector in the field.References
