It is a fact that SUS is one of the largest and most complex public health systems in the world. It is guided by a set of principles and guidelines valid for the entire Brazilian territory. Since SUS' conception to its operation, nursing plays a leading role, being the largest professional category in the system and the one that spends most time with people, thus being essential in the composition of work teams. Additionally, it recognizes integral care as a product of collaborative and multi professional work.
