0163/2018 - Na Baixada Fluminense, à sombra da ‘Esfinge do Rio’: Lutas populares e políticas de saúde na alvorada do SUS. Baixada Fluminense, in the shadow of the \'Sphinx of Rio\': Popular movements and health policies at the birth of SUS.
O artigo revisita o movimento popular por saúde em Nova Iguaçu-RJ nas décadas de 1970 e 80. Em meio à repressão política, moradores se organizaram para encontrar soluções para diversos problemas, entre eles os da saúde. A luta pela saúde se potencializa tanto pela epidemia de dengue quanto pelas conexões com a reforma sanitária brasileira e a luta pela democracia. Com apoio de fontes documentais provenientes de jornais diários, artigos de divulgação em saúde e do acervo da Casa de Oswaldo Cruz-Fiocruz, o artigo conclui que o exemplo de Nova Iguaçu é revelador tanto acerca da complexidade do processo de abertura política em âmbito local quanto dos esforços de condução de uma reforma sanitária onde ela se fazia mais necessária. A resistência de parte da corporação médica, os interesses privados na saúde, a existência de uma cultura política popular ainda incipiente e um associativismo em formação são alguns dos elementos que dão conta das dificuldades em se fazer avançar os anseios manifestos no plano das políticas. As especificidades das arenas locais, também apontam para as possibilidades de arranjos institucionais, por vezes, muito peculiares e não reproduzíveis em outros cenários.

Abstract:
The article addresses the popular health movement in Nova Iguaçu-RJ in the 1970s and 1980s. Amidst political repression, residents organized themselves to find solutions to various problems, including health problems. The demands for health are potentiated both by the dengue epidemic and by the connections with a Brazilian sanitary reform and the struggle for democracy. Using historical sourcesnewspapers, health articles and documentsthe Casa de Oswaldo Cruz-Fiocruz collection, the article concludes that the example of Nova Iguaçu reveals both the complexity of the process of political opening at the local level and the efforts of conducting a health reform it was most needed. Resistance on the part of the medical corporation, private interests in health, and the existence of a still incipient popular political organization and culture are some of the elements that account for the difficulties in advancing the manifest wishes of the policies. The specificities of the local arenas also point to the possibilities of institutional arrangements, sometimes very peculiar and not reproducible in other scenarios.
