The current study offers a first hand approximation of two thematic approaches scientific production in the field of Public Health and the formal guidelines established by the Ministry of Health. With regards to the first thematic line, it investigates the production of graduate work, more specifically those Masters and Doctorate theses produced within the last decade in the field of Public Health in Brazil, which have been indexed at the bibliographic database known as LILACS/BIREME. As far as the second thematic line is concerned, this work lists the minister's acts that have been published in the Official Gazette during the last decade to enable the identification of formal political guidelines. In addition to tracking the historical evolution of Brazilian health policies from the colonial period to the 90's, this study also characterizes the main stages in the process of document indexation. Two databases were constructed for thematic analysis utilizing the microisis software, the LILACS methodology and the controlled DeCS language, the latter standing for Health Science Descriptors. The results obtained were analyzed separately and considered up to the third hierarquical DeCS level through tables and graphs.Finally, a comparative study was performed in order to analyze the thematic tendencies of the chosen dissertations and theses as well as the formal policies of the Ministry of Health, thus identifying the orientation of each of the two thematic approaches studied. In this respect, this work offers a small yet positive collaboration to the role of Information Sciences in the field of Public Health.
