Abstract

This monograph presents the health field as an important space for professional work for the Home Economy, especially in the struggle for quality of life through public policies. The approach of this paper is about the State Health Council of Pernambuco, seeking to analyze the demands of the various social actors that participate as a collective representation in this Council and to present the main deliberations and / or actions reached through the social health policies. For this, a qualitative study was conducted through documentary research, which analyzed the minutes of the meetings of the CES / PE in 2017. From this universe, three of the policies that most came up in the Council meetings were selected, in order to investigate data related to the period mentioned and to understand the popular participation in CES / PE, demands, deliberations and actions. It is concluded in this work that the National Policy for Occupational Health, the National Policy for Men's Health and the National Policy for Oral Health, were the policies that most entered the agenda of Council meetings. This means that these policies are central health issues, which may compose the elaboration of the State Health Plan. Thus, these policies presented more demands and in cases of these being met is the result of the strengthening of popular participation, through their advisory representatives. It is understood that social participation through Councils means to participate collectively in the management of the Unified Health System, and the greater the organization and social participation of diverse actors in deliberative instances, the greater the strengthening of democracy and the guarantee of citizenship.
