摘要：Partindo do pressuposto de que as discussões sobre saúde são pouco trabalhadas nas escolas e que o ensino de Geografia, na maioria das vezes, não aborda de maneira integral os temas transversais, objetivou-se neste trabalho responder as seguintes questões: de que forma o ensino de geografia pode trabalhar a saúde como tema transversal nos conteúdos geográficos? O ensino de geografia pode contribuir para o entendimento dos problemas de saúde locais? O campo da Geografia da Saúde tem espaço de atuação no ensino básico de geografia?.
