title: [The hygiene education project of Belisário Penna. 1900-1930].
abstract: This paper aims to present and analyze the hygiene education project of Belisario Penna (1868-1939). This physician took part in the public health movement that sought, through reforms in public health policy and education, to change the conditions that made Brazil a country of the poor, sick and illiterate. We describe the main ideas expressed by Penna in the period between 1900 and 1930. For this purpose, we use his archive as a privileged source of this physician, one of the leading intellectuals of the time.
