Abstract
The interview with Ligia Bahia looks at the 25th anniversary of the Single Health System (SUS) and analyses its achievements, deadlocks and dispaths. The interviewee is critically positioned on two current strands of the SUS, where he sees him as a system aimed at equity, and where equality is grafted as its objective. He criticises the ambivalences in decisions taken by various spheres of government in relation to large corporate groups and private health plans, which run counter to the ideals of the SUS. It assesses the participation of doctors and other health professions in the System. It also looks at the emergence of identity policies, missing in the formulation of the health reform project, with an emphasis on equality.
