Abstract

The relationship between health and democracy has permeed the composition of the Brazilian public health policy as part of the social control process. The convocation for the 16th National Health conference (= 8 + 8), held in August 2019, urged the people to discuss health and democracy, which warns of the threats being conceived in the state of exception that has settled in Brazil from 2016 with the amendment Co N º 95 of 2016. This article questioned how the democratic society of Law, social control and popular participation were positioned and positioned before the human right to health. In this direction, the study aimed to highlight, under cutouts, the process of conception of this system that comes from a remarkable popular presence, organized and proposed through an experience of social control to the sustainability of the assumptions and bases of public health brazilian. Exploratory and bibliographic research was used, as well as a professional reference for participation in municipal health conferences between the years 2009 to 2019, and in the Municipal Health Council in the years 2017 and 2018. As results, we addressed the conceptions about health, the single health system of the most recent public health policy in Brazil, as well as the conception and processes of social control and its relationship with the understanding of democracy on the scene in Brasil . It is concluded that public health, universal, free and duty of the State, conceived by the will and active and democratic participation of the Brazilian population, is threatened.
