Resumo: the humanization term has been frequent in health area. Although we don't see this term support in any theory or philosophy what it makes difficult to discuss the humanization in a scientific level. This philosophical essay aims to reflect about the term humanization proposing a concept based in Emmanuel Lévinas philosophy. We propose the "relation I-other as an on the care act" concept. The choice for the levinasian philosophy to fundament the concept is because the health careers finality and complexity that involves the careers knowledge's and makes. In the relation I-another proposed by Lévinas the other appear as an absolute otherness and the I as a passive subjectivity. Despite their relation they continue completely separated: the other requires cares and the I answers it the requests. The I-health professional answer becomes human because was affected by the otherness in the same time expresses the unknowable and supplicates for justice.
