Abstract
Studies exploring health and medicine in military Brazil (1964–1985) frequently focus on the struggles of public health activists to advance substantial healthcare reforms during the country's gradual transition to democracy. In the 1960s, the Brazilian dictatorship installed a market-oriented system that outsourced healthcare to private providers, mostly servicing urban and employed benefactors. Without proper government oversight, the healthcare administration was overbilled and national public health indicators lagged. Scholars have highlighted the efforts of the Sanitary Reform Movement (Movimento da Reforma Sanitária) to dismantle the dictatorship's health system. Forming professional associations and assuming leadership positions in governmental agencies, sanitaristas promoted research and policies of collective health, laying the foundations for Brazil's universal healthcare system, established after the return to democracy.
探索巴西军事时期(1964-1985)的健康和医学研究经常关注公共卫生活动家在该国逐步向民主过渡期间推进实质性医疗改革的斗争。上世纪60年代，巴西独裁政府建立了一个以市场为导向的体系，将医疗保健外包给私人供应商，主要服务于城市和受雇的捐助者。由于没有适当的政府监督，医疗保健管理部门的费用过高，国家公共卫生指标滞后。学者们强调了卫生改革运动(Movimento da Reforma Sanitária)为废除独裁统治的卫生系统所做的努力。卫生工作者成立专业协会并在政府机构中担任领导职务，促进了集体卫生的研究和政策，为巴西恢复民主后建立的全民卫生保健系统奠定了基础。
