Histórico da Política de Saúde Pública no Brasil e o Processo de Mercantilização do SUS

Abstract

The present work of conclusion of graduation course in Social Work aims to present the evolution of the Brazilian sanitary model until the present day. We will begin in the first chapter, tracing a history of public health in Brazil, from when it was still a colony of Portugal, through the institutionalization of the first health care models and the organized civil society movement that culminated in the creation of the Unified Health System and, its insertion in the Brazilian Federal Constitution and in the laws that regulate this system. In the second chapter, we aim to demonstrate the neoliberal project of commodification of health, which goes against what is foreseen in the Magna Carta as a right of the population. To do so, we will go through brief analyzes and comments on neoliberal governments and their proposals for Brazilian public health. To conclude this work, it is extremely important to deal with the pandemic generated by Covid-19, as it has generated, and continues to generate, profound impacts on the model of care and health management in Brazil.
