To accomplish this, I first situate the Brazilian case in the international debate over the regionalization of health services. Second, I examine health regionalization in the case of São Paulo and show how the process is dynamic and complex, involving geographical scales that go well beyond the administrative boundaries of Brazilian municipalities.97-105engBrazilgeographical scalehealth policyhealth regionArtigo10.1111/j.1745-7939.2007.00094.xWOS:000247818900004Acesso restrito
