Abstract

The Policy of Permanent Education in Health is an important strategy to change the assistance model and to reorganize, in our country, health services traditionally curative. Based on this perspective, it was studied the Family Health Program as a public policy that, organized according to the principles of Permanent Education, can become an indispensable action to reach the humanization in public health services. Based on the presupposition that the Family Health Program became one of the most essential strategies for the reorientation of the basic attention model in the scope of the Unique Health System, it was studied the necessity to overcome the hierarchy – health professional/patient – and the importance of the social control, so that its actions focus the problems properly. In the expectation to break off with the fragmented view of the user, it is pointed out as fundamental an intersection practice among the many public policies to overcome the assistentialist curative character of out health system. As for that, it is argued about the possibility of the Social Worker insertion in the health team of the Family Health Program, because he/she is a qualified professional to undertake an educational policy to confront the social issue.
