Abstract:

The paper analyses the health services regionalization process in the State of Amazonas through a case study covering the health sub-region Manaus Surroundings. This is a qualitative, descriptive-analytical research, which data was collected using interviews, documents and Internet reviews, guided by the concept of health regionalization. The study revealed a social scenario dominated by asymmetry, verticality, competitiveness and fragile multilateral relations among municipalities, associated to a bureaucratic profile of the local institutions. The political agents have limited acknowledgement of the sociopolitical and institutional conditions regarding their own activities. They usually impute management and operational problems to the natural and geographical characteristics of the Amazon region, but their financing, governance and technical capacity are insufficient to overcome them.
