Abstract

Our study analyzes the dynamics of the social control exercise in a Brazilian municipality in an international frontier region, based on the records in the minutes of the Municipal Health Council (CMS), referring to specific health policies for the location. The technique of document analysis was used, aided by an instrument designed to identify the participation of counselors in meetings, activities and topics related to health policy on the border area from 2006 to 2018, a period related to the inclusion in the Integrated Border Health System (SIS Fronteiras). The results indicate that the CMS discussed health policy without contextualizing it sufficiently for the specific border territory. Therefore, training mechanisms are recommended to improve action and organization, anchored on the theme health in border regions, supporting the social control exercise oriented to the needs of the local reality of Brazilian border cities.
