Os (des) caminhos da formação sanitária e os direitos sociais

This study aims to analyse the formation of human resources in Public Health and the delimitation of the public health practices in the Brazilian reality.To compose the scenery of the investigation the author chose three moments throughout the XX th Century -the displacement from the notion of hygienists to the of public health workers, with the creation of the schools of public health; the concepts of the formation of public health workers from the reports of Deans and teachers of Schools of Public Health; and the needs and institutional responses elaborated on the public health question, in the end of the last decade of the Century.The author utilised different sources in her study: official documents, oral and iconographic sources, in the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte.Taking the School of Public Health of Minas Gerais, not as a case study but as a basis for her reflection on the centres for the formation of public health workers, the author gives importance to the articulation between concrete spaces and practices which constitute and fix the limits to the field of public health in the perspective of social rights and social protection, that is, without ignoring the profound changes which are taking place, since the Seventies in Brazil, on the role of the State, from a promoter of social welfare, to the role of a regulator.Thus, Public Health, which is the object of this study, should remain central in the sphere of public and social policies, making it necessary to face and re-think (a difficult task) the notions of public, public services and public responsibility, in the ethic dimension of social life, in the contemporary period.In this perspective, the study concludes that the State, by means of its centres for the formation of human resources, must continue to promote the formation and utilisation of qualified personnel for the functions and activities that delimit the field of public health action, in the Brazilian reality
