Abstract

This study searches historical records for the formulation and implementation of public health policies in Brazil, focusing on those referent to family planning. Initial conclusions show that the policies were geared toward international controlling interests. Family planning today, though officially recognized as an inalienable right of every citizen, still reflects the contradictory political, economic and ideological interests of the ruling power.
