Health reform and the state of são paulo between 1970 and 1980: Regional dimensions and worker training (abstract: P. 18)

Abstract

Studies of the history of Brazil’s health reform conducted between 1970 and 1980 have gained various nuances and authors. However, there is still a need to understand the regional dimensions of the reform using an approach that examines contexts that are capable of elucidating or at least reflecting on the perspectives of specific groups, institutions and movements aligned with social thinking in health. An additional question is the sanitarian training program at the time, which historiography depicts as being relevant to the strengthening of the ideology behind the health reform. Motivated by the above and critical analysis, we present a historical study of the regional dimensions of the health reform investigating medical-sanitary experiences lived during the period in the state of São Paulo.
