On doctors and the Osasco City Hall

A record of its time on employment, pay and working conditions of doctors in Osasco.

1 min read

Pedro practised in Osasco, and the municipal Official Gazette lists him among its physicians in April 2005. The following year he wrote "On doctors and the Osasco City Hall", a record of its time on employment ties, pay and working conditions of the municipal network's professionals.

The subject was sensitive: precarious contracts, eroded salaries and accumulated shifts directly affected the quality of care. Pedro treats the matter as a public health problem, not only as a professional grievance.

The text is one of the few sources in the archive on his work outside the capital, alongside the memories of Franco da Rocha and the references to Caieiras.

This article is part of the historical archive of Pedro Moretti Guedes. It should be read as a document of its time: Medicine, pharmacology and health recommendations have changed since publication.

Who created this memorial

Felipe Guedes did not grow up with his father. He knows Pedro through the stories, and loves him for them. What he keeps most is the doctor who treated for free those who could not pay: a way of looking at people, not at money, that Felipe carries with him.
