Zusammenfassung:To discuss the political and structural conditions for establishing the Unified Health System (UHS - Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS) in coping with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Theoretical-reflection study. At the first moment named "The global and the local in facing the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic" is presented the health crisis that took place worldwide and the government actions to combat COVID-19. A second moment named "Between dismantling actions and resistance, the UHS is the best way to face the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic", reflects on the neoliberal attacks on the health system and how it resists, remaining the main pandemic response strategy. The strengthening of democracy and the defense of the UHS are the way out of the crisis. It is believed that this reflection generates - in everyone who deals with caretaking - the political action, the ethical attitude, the desire for valorization and the spirit of struggle in defense of the UHS and human life.
