THE ORIGINS OF MEDICAL
COOPERATIVISM
“The cooperative movement is an open, non-profi t society that seeks social justice. It arose as a dream of humanity; as a way of humanizing capitalism.”
Santos, State of São Paulo, December of 1967. Edmundo Castilho, founder of Unimed and president of Unimed of Brasil from 1975 to 2000.
Unimed is the fi rst work cooperative in Brazil or in the Americas. It was formed 44 years ago in the city of Santos, in Sao Paulo, by the physician Edmundo Castilho.
Today in Brazil there are 13 branches of cooperatives, including the agricultural, con-sumer, credit, and labor, in which the Unimed System is integrated.
CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNIMED COOPERATIVE SYSTEM
Cooperativism classifi es cooperative societies by grade and by branch of activity. The primary cooperatives are known as free-standing units, its membership consisting of in-dividuals.
The Singular unit has administrative and fi nancial autonomy and enters into contracts. It is commonly administered by a board of directors and an executive board, and is gov-erned by a democratic administration.
Within the structure of the Unimed Cooperative System, the free-standing units combine to form secondary cooperatives, the Federations. These, in turn, gather and form the Confederation, Unimed of Brazil, a tertiary cooperative, which among other responsibili-ties has the role of representing, integrating and guiding the the operation of medical cooperatives and companies of the Unimed System, defending, strengthening and con-solidating the Unimed brand.
In Minas Gerais, the Federation is organized into six regional (5 intra-federative federa-tions and 1
committee). These subdivisions aim to make the decision-making process more expedient and responsive as well as a fairer voting system.
