Abstract

This dissertation presented to the Graduate Program in Social Work from the Federal University of Alagoas, aims to understand how the Social Work fits in healthcare, from the institutionalization of social demands of this area in Brazil, process permeated by the recognition of the social determinants of health of the health-disease process. For this purpose, we seek to foster research through bibliographical and documentary research. We use the theoretical treatises that discuss the following concepts: Social Needs, Social Demands, Demands Institutional, Social Issues, State, Health, Social Determinants of Health, Social Services, Process Institutionalization of Social Policies, with emphasis on Health Policy. for the analysis of the research material we seek the contribution of materialist dialectics of Marx's theoretical perspective. With regard to documentary research, consult the Federal Constitution of 1988; documents and the laws of health; document production from the Federal Council of Social Service (CFESS). Through the investigation, we understand that the process of institutionalization of health stems arising from the social needs of the working class in the current social order demands. We assumed that health should be understood from a critical perspective that can support the understanding of this from its social determinants, using as reference axis, the right to health, and social health needs. Social work falls more heavily on health from 1945 and its insertion is effective in all historical periods of consolidation of health policy in the country. The survey showed that the more demands the institutionalization of health relies on the broad concept of health, longer amplify the performance possibilities of Social Work.
