This article analyzes how the health services of the first establishments implanted in Piauí dealt with childcare during the First Republic. Even though childhood protection ideas consider the potential of health initiatives as an investment factor for progress and civilization, there was no state project or federal health system that integrated the state of Piauí. For this analysis, we used government messages, legislation, newspapers and medical journals as sources, in addition to authors such as Ana Paula Martins (2004), Colin Heywood (2004) and Gilberto Hochman (1998). We identified the installation of few institutions in Piauí, such as police stations and public health posts, in addition to philanthropic hospitals. As a result, the condition of limiting the supply of health services, more concentrated and regular in the capital, ended up contributing to the absence of specialized protection in the care of children from Piauí.
Keywords: History. Health establishments. Childhood.
