The COVID-19 pandemic has produced new demands for services in healthcare systems around the world. In Brazil, the SUS became the object of interest of the media, which made efforts to cover government actions and the system’s capacity to control the pandemic. This study aims to analyze articles from the newspaper ‘Folha de São Paulo’ (FSP), regarding the meanings produced about the Unified Health System (SUS) in the COVID-19 pandemic. 231 articles were analyzed, among the 524 published in the period from January to May 2020, following the established inclusion criteria. The corpus was categorized in four senses: constitutional SUS, problem SUS, disputed SUS and active SUS. The reflection on the diversity of meanings attributed to the SUS points to the need to expand the capture of the dimensions of the SUS.
RESUMO A pandemia da Covid-19 produziu novas demandas por serviços nos sistemas de saúde no mundo inteiro. No Brasil, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) passou a ser objeto do interesse dos meios de comunicação, que realizaram esforços de cobertura das ações governamentais e da capacidade do sistema no controle da pandemia. Este estudo objetiva analisar matérias do jornal ‘Folha de São Paulo’ (FSP), quanto aos sentidos produzidos sobre o SUS na pandemia de Covid-19. Foram analisadas 231 matérias, dentre as 524 publicadas no período de janeiro a maio de 2020, obedecendo aos critérios de inclusão estabelecidos. O corpus foi categorizado em quatro sentidos: SUS constitucional, SUS problema, SUS em disputa e SUS atuante. A diversidade de sentidos atribuídos ao SUS aponta a necessidade da ampliação de captura das dimensões do SUS.
