Abstract
Abstract This article seeks to know the perception of state health secretaries, their professors, and their directors on the contributions of state schools of Public Health to the Brazilian National Health System (SUS). Being a qualitative research, the state health secretaries were interviewed, as well as the directors and professors of these schools. The content of the interviews was analyzed in the light of Bardin’s framework. The contributions of the schools to SUS were highlighted, showing the strategic role they play, emphasizing the provision of professionals trained in these schools and who occupy management positions in the SUS; the technical support offered to municipalities; and the recognition of workers for the work developed by these schools. However, one must note that these institutions face difficulties, especially insufficient financial and human resources. Schools are strategic for SUS, being fundamental instruments to maintain the policy of permanent health education and to qualify the health workforce. The difficulties reported indicate the need to prioritize policies of permanent education and professional qualification aimed at health workers.
