EnglishTaking the anthropological concept of social suffering as the discussion’s central axis, this paper aims to describe and analyze certain social, economic, medical-scientific, moral, and institutional factors that enabled the concealment and denial of asbestos related-diseases among former SAMA mining company employees, in the Brazilian city of Minacu. The diseases that led many of these workers to early death were never associated – by the company Medical Border, as well as by medical doctors from clinics and hospitals in Minacu and Goiânia (Brazil) – to previous occupational exposure to chrysotile asbestos fibers, either in the Cana Brava mine or at SAMA mills. The concealment in these cases is also the result of the “maternal” ties established by the mining company with a significant portion of the local population, for over five decades, which produce a whole context of mutual surveillance and effective retaliation over and among the Minacu city dwellers to prevent any public complaints against SAMA. portuguesTomando o conceito antropologico de sofrimento social como eixo central da discussao, este artigo tem como objetivos descrever e analisar determinados fatores sociais, economicos, medico-cientificos, morais e institucionais que possibilitaram o ocultamento e a negacao da ocorrencia de doencas do amianto entre antigos funcionarios da empresa mineradora S.A. Mineracoes Associadas (SAMA), no municipio goiano de Minacu. As doencas que levaram muitos desses trabalhadores a morte precoce nunca foram associadas – pela Junta Medica da empresa, bem como por medicos de clinicas e hospitais de Minacu e de Goiânia (GO) – a exposicao ocupacional pregressa as fibras do amianto crisotila, seja na mina de Cana Brava ou nas usinas da SAMA. O ocultamento nesses casos e, tambem, resultado dos vinculos “maternos” e “maternais” estabelecidos pela mineradora com parcela significativa da populacao local, ha mais de cinco decadas, os quais produzem todo um contexto de vigilância mutua e de retaliacoes efetivas sobre e entre os moradores da cidade, de maneira a impedir qualquer tipo de acusacao publica contra a SAMA.
