The political project of the Unified Health System (SUS) aims to implement a public system which attends the health needs of the population. SUS is the result of a paradigm shift, since the change in definition of health, knowledge production and health practices. The effective consolidation of SUS depends largely on the epistemological understanding of its proposal by all stakeholders: managers, health professionals and citizens. With this understanding, professionals will be able to reflect on their practices, making them suitable to public health demands. Thus, this article aims to provide support for reflection on the epistemological dimension of the SUS and actions which implement its consolidation.
