The text envisages do place the Health Sector decentralization process', and also its articulation with the proposal for change in the model of health care, within the national context and in the sphere of the State of São Paulo; it aims also at analysing some perspectives arising in the way of said process' continuity. The experience obtained in the sector is bound to propitiate a few considerations on the subject of decentralization, mainly as concerns debating the significance of its being analysed in terms of sectorial policies, instead of focused as a policy per se. Albeit briefly, the study redeems the sector's activity, especially in the 80s, and the measures for decentralization it comprised. Then, it proceeds to analyse the prospects of change in the model of health care, and towards decentralization, as regards the positive factors or elements capable to facilitate the process; it also comments on the risks and threats to the process' continuity, offering a few propositions in this respect.
