Abstract

Fragmentation in health governance has represented being one of the guiding axes of the structural reforms towards the privatization of the system through the strategic instrumentation of processes in health matters such as fragmentation, decentralization, privatization, segmentation and copayment. These forms of management built symbolic behavioral nuclei to channel the most sensitive governance processes within the health system aimed at favoring the subrogation of health services under the foundations of budget savings, making processes more efficient and reducing costs. The result of these neoliberal policies generated important fractures in the organizational dynamics, substituting the social symbolic values ​​that obey the governance of public health, by the commercial ethics of private initiative. The fragmentation supported by the clear privatization and outsourcing of the labor rights of health workers has been one of the resulting dimensions. The logic of private ethics was inserted in the symbolic interaction of the work of public health servants, obeying work dynamics under the parameters of productivity and competitiveness driven by market rules.
