ABSTRACT
The implementation of health policies aimed at achieving the solidarity principles of the Unified Health System (SUS) is a monumental task, with renewed challenges every day, especially in the municipality of São Paulo, marked by profound social inequality. Among the many challenges, this text addresses: the health care network and management of the Municipal Health Departments, including financing; Primary Health Care in the health network; and the strategic position of intersectoral actions. Health management needs to be capable of translating the demands and needs of the population of São Paulo into a public health system efficient, welcoming, democratic, and bolded, in an intersectoral and intergovernmental manner, to improve the health situation of São Paulo residents and build a less unequal and fairer city
