Market driven health services – (systems?)

The basis of the political debate around the human rights approach for health, generating a

political movement and its conquests…The indivisible triad for the right to health: • Universality means for every person during the entire life• Comprehensive means all individual and social needs all

life long – means to achieve the integral / full answer to the needs derived from the interdependent rights understood as a system / all necessary to make rights real

• Equity means social justice achieved trough the warranty of all people rights on time for their needs, with no differences to who have the same needs. It implies the equity on the access to the resources on policies, its financing, its services, quality of care and the health and social results of its application.

EQUITY…• The equity approach does not establish the

“minimum” but generates the tension between the the necessary (what is fair, just, the right) for everybody and the already possible for some individuals or groups (the privileges)…

• The very illustrative example of the crossed subsides and the per capita inequities…

• Inequities as the distance of each group in relation to the desirable fair / right, and the intolerable differences between groups in relation to the desired standard of the rights achievement

The good, for all, the fair, the desirable as an expression of the logic and doctrine of the social and human rights – “the reasonable”

• According to Dr. Tandika the concern with “efficiency” of the public systems increased at the same time that the redistributive justice and social development concerns are reduced or disappeared.

The Brazilian Experience in the conquest of the Human Right to Health

• The formulation of a concept and its political intention – the brazilian social health reform as the expression of the struggle for health as a right of every woman and man in the country 

• The conquest of a new concept to order the health system – trough a political mobilization motivated by the insatisfied needs of the population regards their fundamental rights

• Political achievements at the VIII National Health Conference in 1986 and the New National Constitution adopted in 1988

The SUS (Unique Health System)

• 1988 National Constitution: “Health is a right of everyone and the duty of the State”

• The SUS: ensemble of policies, services and actions that are developed by state institutions of the three levels of government – national, regional and local, with complementary participation of the private sector – composing a public organization oriented to fulfill the universal right to health with comprehensiveness and equity.

Public Dimension composed by:

1 - State owned structures

2- Non profit private and private for profit

Ordered by public contracts

The principles of the SUS

• Universal access;• Comprehensive care;• Equality on access and quality of care;• Social and community participation with

decision power;• Descentralization of the system

management with exclusive direction at each level of government.

Our experience in this process:

• The Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Organic Laws of 1990:

• Law 8080 of 1990, establish the definitions of an unique national health system in order to warranty the organization of an unique national public health system to make real the universality, the comprehensiveness and the equity in terms of health for all population, establishing the public orders that will discipline the private activities – building the public esphere composed by the state owned services and the private services, oriented by the constitutional public relevance that health has achieved nationally and internationally

Our experience in this process:

• The organic law 8142/90, establish the creation and the implementation of the health councils, and the conferences,

• The councils are health decision making bodies at each level of the republic: national, regional / states and local / municipalities.

Our experience in this process:• The radical descentralization – as radical

democratization - towards the municipalities – NOB 93 

• The creation of the intergovernment agreement bodies – Primary Health Care minimun value transfer - NOB 96

• In search of the financing estability – CPMF and constitutional amendement 29 (2000), towards its regulamentation (2008)

• The struggle for enough financing support and the human resources on health.

nits

• The State is the rector, financer, regulator and

provider.

• Regular and automatic transference of financial

resources among the health funds.

• Totally free care, financed by the global tax

income of the State.

• **Public Expenditure is 50% of the total health

expenditure, around 160 dollars per capita / per

year`. 3,7 % of the GNP.

Our experience in this process:• Today the system is already installed in all the

5561 municipalities, where there are health local authorities and health councils, as well as health plans established.

• There are health goals established and compromises of accomplishment, public accountability exercises each three months and transparency trough a web system - SIOPS.

• There is a daily struggle to keep and perfeccionate the System as an integral health care system.
