Abstract

This research aimed to identify and understand the process of technology transfer promoted by offset policy in the field of public health, called the Plan for Expansion of Radiotherapy of the Ministry of Health. The objective of this policy is to create and improve organizations accredited for cancer treatments through the insertion of radiotherapy equipment. We used the methodological strategy of the case study, supported by applied research, with a qualitative and exploratory approach. Based on documentary research and participant non-systematic observation, we analyzed how the transfer of technology involving interorganizational relations for the acquisition and reception of radiotherapy equipment takes place. We verified that the initiatives of insertion of radiotherapeutic equipment in the context of the Plan of Expansion of Radiotherapy have undergone numerous confrontations inserted in the contextual and organizational particularities that affect its development and effectiveness. There are challenges that require responses from a set of organizations involved in order to implement the trade agreement established by the offset policy, and the first one is to highlight the first stage as a process of technology transfer.
