This work aimed to connect the basic strategies of reverse logistics applied in healthcare in the most varied processes. For this, it was necessary to elucidate the general assumptions about business logistics and outline a brief history of the historical evolution of services for ensuring the wholesomeness of the Brazilian population since the beginnings of colonization until the creation of the SUS. As a relatively new concept, it added various suggestions of activities to show how this joint effort can contribute to the improvement of services in this sector, for the safety of health professionals and the general public, in addition, to collaborate for the preservation of the ecosystem by means of recycling and reusing products and raw materials in hospital environments.
