Comprised by social demand for goods and services, specific professional education, cutting-edge technology industries and the production of medicines and intermediary goods, health economy can be understood through the current paradigm in medical practice, the technologic medicine, and through the concept of health industrial complex. In this paper, hospitals will be envisioned as sophisticated technical systems able to guide and increase the dynamics of material and immaterial flows related to medical practice and health economy. These theoretical remarks and the central role developed by hospital in the health economy will be empirically illustrated by the cases of two hospital complexes: Escola Paulista de Medicina da Universidade Federal de São Paulo/Hospital São Paulo and the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo/Hospital das Clínicas.Downloads
