Abstract

The Health Council is a collegial, deliberative and permanent body of the Unified Health System (SUS) in each sphere of Government that counts with the participation of the organized society in proposing, discussing, monitoring, deliberating, evaluating and supervising the implementation of the Health Policy. The objective of this study was to identify and describe the bibliographic production that were produced in the Institutions of Higher Education (IES) about the theme of social control carried out by the Municipal Health Councils in some cities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). A bibliographical review of the existing literature of publications in the RGS of productions was carried out with the IES where some Concluding Works of Course that discussed the subject were found. The selected studies described and reported data to understand the social control of the Municipal Health Council in some cities of the state. Of these, an article was found in the Portal Periodical CAPES and eleven works with the IES. Participated in the study 11 cities and was observed parity of users segment of 50% in the councils of 6 of these, all have monthly meetings, except Porto Alegre which are biweekly. Balneário Pinhal, Esteio, Marques de Souza, São Valério do Sul, Serafina Corrêa and Três Passos have little participation of the society. Almost does not occur publicizing of the agenda in advance, some councils do not own place for the meetings and few disclose the decisions to the population. Tenente Portela and Pelotas have half the qualified counselors and feel the need for more qualification to perform the function. These results show that although the Municipal Health Council has limitations, it is important for the dialogue between society and public administration, being a mechanism of participation and struggle of the universal and egalitarian health system
