Three phenomena emerge as critical influences on care practices: the medical-care model, the sanitation model, and the culture of performance. The medical-care and sanitation models are perpetuated. The culture of performance introduces a control paradigm based on quantitative indicators and pre-defined goals, affecting professional identity, social interactions, and the effectiveness of actions. On the margins of the institution, other daily practices are induced by temporal needs, subjective feelings, and local networks of power, thus challenging social structures and conventions.

The inseparability between psychic and social is combined with territorial dimensions, reinforcing the link between mental health and daily community life. The struggle for territory enables the reconstruction of a subjective ethos that refuses servitude, moving from previous conditions of precariousness and subalternity, with expulsion from the territory to other more autonomous and collective subjectivation processes.

The core argument of the article is that CEME represented, at the federal level, the consolidation of a policy carried out at the National Institute of Social Security (Instituto Nacional da Previdência Social - INPS) between 1968 and 1970, based on the production of inputs and medicines in public laboratories. Ended in 1970, this policy was resumed the following year with broad participation of military personnel and laboratories of the Armed Forces. The originality of this article lies in its explanation of how such support influenced the establishment of CEME in its early years.
