The National Policy of Popular Education in Health in debate: (re) knowing knowledge and struggles for the production of Collective Health

Reflections on Popular Education and Health (EPS) as a field of knowledge, subject action and public policy in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) in Brazil. Based on the process of institutionalization of EPS in the Ministry of Health, viability conditions of the National Policy for Popular Education in Health (PNEP-SUS) are pointed out, formulated in dialogue with popular movements, based on two questions: What are the consequences of this process in the construction of health policies? What is the viability of PNEP-SUS in the current context? The debate emerges in the dialogue of this process with social participation, pedagogical conception of EPS, dialogues of knowledge and production of knowledge that permeate the relationship between social movements, SUS management and PNEPS-SUS.
