The health care-education-politics convergence: a challenge to be faced by professionals when assuring the health rights of ostomized people

We began with the presupposition that there is a very close convergence between education-care-politicity when assuring the rights of people with chronic health conditions. So, the aim of this study was to reflect on the imbrication between health and nursing care, health education and their politicity. Beginning with the partial presentation of data from exploratory research on ostomized people in a public hospital in the state of Mato Grosso, we could discuss about this narrow relation between the education, the care and the formation of political individuals, regardless of being a graduate, a professional or an user of health services.
