In Readings about developmentalist health and interpretations for the Brazilian health reform and public health (HCSM Jan-Mar 2021), Camila Furlanetti Borges and Tatiana Wargas de Faria Baptista researchers at Fiocruz analyze the discourse of two sanitary doctors from the period – Mário Magalhães da Silveira and Carlos Gentile de Mello.
The article argues that the Brazilian Unified Health System – SUS – was created not simply in continuation of developmentalist thinking.
