Abstract
Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the contributions of the National Humanization Policy of the Single Health System (HumanizaSUS) as a cross-cutting policy in health from its methods, guidelines and devices. Methods: This is a bibliographic review, of articles from the Scielo database, published from the year 2000 to the present day, based on the descriptors: Humanization, Health Policy and the Unified Health System. Bibliographic review: From the perspective of HumanizaSUS, health should not be performed only within the health system or institutions, but should also include health care. Humanizing health care and management is a means for the qualification of health practices through the expansion of access with hospitality; valuing workers and users; full attention with responsibility and attachment; advancement of participatory management and direct involvement of social control. Final considerations: The proposed study attests from several authors the relevance of the Humanization Policy as a transversal SUS policy, since its ethical proposal, aesthetic and political, requires break of paradigms concerning the vertical relations between the subjects.
