The objective is to deepen our understanding of the work processes in the production of health care, which reflect the ways in which everyday politics is constituted in the practices of subordination, resistance and links between workers and users. This work is guided by a qualitative interpretative design, based on the design of in-depth interviews with workers in various functions and participant observations with field recordings. The results allow us to identify that the field of health knowledge is in permanent dispute with the field of practices where, despite the evidence of reflective and integrative knowledge, the hegemony in practices continues to be linked to the biomedical model that depoliticises health and reduces it to fragmented and decontextualised individual elements. It is hoped that the findings will contribute to the generation of public policies aimed at improving the articulation between the social, the subjective and the biological in health care and management. Este trabajo aborda saberes y prácticas que configuran los procesos de trabajo en el primer nivel de atención (PNA) en salud pública de la ciudad de Bahía Blanca, entendiendo a la salud como campo político. El objetivo es caracterizar nociones vinculadas a la dimensión política del trabajo en salud en el PNA, a partir de la identificación de prácticas de subordinación, resistencia y vínculos entre sus trabajadores/as. Este artículo se orienta desde el diseño cualitativo interpretativo, a partir de la realización de entrevistas en profundidad a trabajadores/as en diversas funciones y observaciones participantes con registro de campo. Los resultados permiten identificar que el ámbito de los saberes en salud está en permanente disputa con el ámbito de las prácticas donde, a pesar de evidenciarse saberes reflexivos e integradores, la hegemonía en las prácticas continúa ligada al modelo biomédico que despolitiza la salud y la reduce a elementos fragmentados e individuales descontextualizados. Se espera que los hallazgos contribuyan a generar políticas públicas orientadas a mejorar la articulación entre lo social, lo subjetivo y lo biológico en la atención y gestión en salud.
