Abstract:

This essay presents the singular arrangement named public health surveillance in Brazil and the specificities of its components: health surveillance, epidemiological surveillance, worker´shealth surveillance, and environmental health surveillance, as well as the constitutional determination to carry out the actions of health and epidemiological surveillance and worker´shealth surveillance. The two national systems of health protection are discussed - National Health Surveillance System and National Sanitary Surveillance System, emphasizing the health regulation made by the latter and some constraints to its action by the Legislative Branch. The Brazilian State\'s constitutional duty to protect health is reaffirmed, providing the means for the adequate functioning of both systems, since the defense of health interests represents the confrontation of oligopolized transnational economic interests. The argument of the financial crisis of the Brazilian State can not prevail over rights of citizenship, under the prevailing public underfunding of health.

Keywords:
