Abstract
In this insightful interview with José Dias Mateus, we learn about his professional journey and the motivations that led him to pursue a degree in Social Work, as well as about issues related to humanization, humanized care in Angolan health services, and the mission of the Social Worker. As the interview unfolds, the researcher argues that true humanization in healthcare services is incompatible with a capitalist model of social relations, which perpetuates social inequalities. He leads us to understand how capitalism has completely "swallowed up" humanization, through the way everything is driven by the market. Through deep reflections, the interviewee argues that the professional practice of Social Work must be deeply connected to a theory that needs to be discussed and understood in order to challenge the existing social structure. Some criticisms and pointed questions are also found in the text, manifesting the indignation of a professional with a vocation to defend the rights of the marginalized, in the condition of being and being part of them.
Keywords: Humanization, Care, Health Services, Social Worker.
