ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to report a research that analyzed the Medical Entities (EM) understanding on health policy and the health system in Brazil in 2015 and 2016. Monitoring, processing, and classification of news released in three official MS sites were carried out, totaling 648 subjects. Most of the publications were found in Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM) and Federação Brasileira dos Médicos (Fenam), being 44% in each site. ‘More Medical Program’ and ‘Medical Movement’ were the most frequent themes in the publications, which expressed opposition of the entities to the policies established by the Federal Government before the impeachment. The results indicate that EM advocate corporate interests, deviating themselves from the principles and guidelines inherent to the Brazilian Health Reform.
