Abstract

The paper proposes a critical reflection, based on national law and guidelines, as well as academic papers, on the current development of Networks of Health Care, as a strategy for strengthening the Single Health System (SUS). The inefficiency of traditional ways of organizing care and management, the challenge of Network Health Care for comprehensive care and the management mechanisms used in this process, are pointed. The work provides subsidies for the care practices and health management be reflected, pointing strategies that result in disruptions and breaking of paradigms through a refocusing of attention in existing models. So that the networks of health care may be consolidated, is fundamental the political sensitivity of health managers with a commitment to build a new model of care, through the struggle to consolidate the SUS and the realization of the principles of universality, comprehensiveness and equity.
