Sumario:In this work we present the results of a research regarding the meaning given to health promotion in the northeast of Montevideo. The study included Doctors from primary health care level and social actors from the area. Only the information related to health staff is developed in this work. In a qualitative approach, ten deep interviews and a discussion group were carried out with doctors. From the main results, the multiple significances and the heterogeneity in health promotion practices are highlighted. In turn, significances towards what is established were visualized, where the characteristic is the centrality in the illness and the individual in the cure; articulated with transforming significances oriented towards community participation and organization. Both universes of significances are combined and appear interrelated with the medical staff.
