This paper addresses the public policy of deinstitutionalization of the mental health. We will use the indexes of Rio de Janeiro City, produced by the Municipal Health Office. With this information, we will be able to verify the congruence of the implementation of the public policy mentioned, making an analysis of its purposes. In addition, the study of this correlation will provide insights to know if the deinstitutionalization, as public policy, is appropriate for the realization of the fundamental rights. The methodology is guided by the observation of indexes produced by internal monitoring, based on the multidisciplinary theoretical approach between rights and psychiatry
