History

Since 1992, the Director Board of the School of Public Health of the University of São Paulo (FSP - USP) and of São Paulo’s Public Health Association (APSP) have partnered to carry out an editorial project. From this initiative stemmed the Journal "Saúde e Sociedade", which is at present a consolidated reference of the interface between Social and Human Sciences in the fields of Public/Collective Health.

The articulation between these two institutions came about as a new strategy to bolster the dissemination of the scientific output of the field, besides setting the ground for the growing expertise interchange between the institutions devoted to education, research and health services delivery.
