Abstract

Purpose: To understand the motivations, importance, challenges and perspectives for acting
as local health counselors in the Unified Health System.
Method: A qualitative and descriptive study of the exploratory type conducted with 15 local
health counselors, from a southern Brazilian capital, from January to March 2017, through
semi-structured interviews based on the Collective Subject Discourse method.
Results: The motivations were linked to the possibility of social contribution to the community;
the importance of identifying the local health council as a collective and supervisory space;
the challenges (poor attendance at meetings and influence of party politics; perspectives)
focused on the need for greater participation, community interest and more efficient health
management.
Conclusion: Knowledge, awareness and empowerment are fundamental to increase the
performance and participation for a better exercise of social control in health.
