Abstract:

This article discusses the political bond between the construction of the Unified Health System and communication. Understanding communication as a poorly developed field of citizenship rights in Brazil, we work with the hypothesis that the presence of a media oligopoly in the telecommunications and journalism system restricts the democratic formation of a public judgment on SUS affecting the power relation over the construction of the health system. Based on the analysis of opinion polls and studies on the national media´s coverage of SUS, we argue that communication is a central political determinant to the construction of a social base to support SUS and to overcome the impasses identified by the literature. We conclude that the relationship between communication, politics, and democracy brings to SUS the challenge of disputing in the daily lives of Brazilian citizens the formation of a public health conscience, as put by Giovanni Berlinguer to the Brazilian health reform movement in the 1970s.
