This article aims to present an analysis of the health situation of teachers. The study takes as empirical lócus the municipality of Medeiros Neto, Bahia, with emphasis on the data that refer to the various factors that, directly or indirectly, corroborate to the health of these professionals. As a method of study, an interview was conducted to collect data from teachers of the municipal public school system. The results show that over a five-year period, the number of teachers who requested leave of absence on health grounds was significant. Thus, the study shows that there is a need to implement public policies that offer a work environment that allows the teacher to perform his duties without impairing his physical and mental health.
