    Abstract: The introduction of the Unified Health System (SUS) by the Brazilian government has helped enhance community participation. A survey in 12 municipalities in different States of the country focused on the decentralization process implemented by the Federal government (Basic Operational Ruling NOB01/93). Based on the ruling's implementation, community participation has improved in the municipalities, the number of local health councils has increased, and more local people have become involved in the process. Another important aspect of the new health policy has been the direct influence of the local health councils in managing the system. Local health councils have thus been an efficient channel for community involvement. This paper discusses how the population has been represented in such councils in the wake of the decentralization process. The authors ask, what is the relationship between social democracy and political democracy, and what kind of state reform should be carried out?

    Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To describe an index to identify inequities in living conditions and health and its relationship with health planning. METHODS: Variables and indicators that would reflect demographic, economic, environment and education processes as well as supply and production of health services were applied for nondimensional scaling and clustering of 5,507 Brazilian municipalities. Data sources were the 2000 Census and the Brazilian Ministry of Health information systems. Z-score test statistic and cluster analysis were performed allowing to defining 4 groups of municipalities by living conditions. RESULTS: There was seen a polarization between the group with the best living conditions and health (Group 1) and the group with the worst living conditions (Group 4). Group 1 consisted of municipalities with larger populations while Group 4 comprised mainly the smallest municipalities. As for Brazilian macroregions, municipalities in Group 1 are clustered in the south and southeast and those in Group 4 are in the Northeast. CONCLUSIONS: The living conditions and health index comprises reality dimensions such as housing, environment and health which allows to identifying the most vulnerable municipalities and can provide input for setting priorities, and developing criteria for more equitable financing and resource allocation.

    Abstract: Arterial Hypertension (AH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are considered a worldwide epidemics whose control poses a challenge to health care services. Within the National Health System, the Family Health Program currently has the dual role of being a system gateway and reference structure. Bearing in mind this scenario, this study assessed the access of AH and DM patients to health care and therapeutic drugs. A household survey was conducted in five municipalities with over 100,000 inhabitants in the Baixada Santista. A two-stage self-weighted probabilistic sample was used. Results estimated a prevalence of 26.3% for AH and of 8.8% for DM, AH being more prevalent among women. As to health care, 85.3% of the individuals with AH interviewed reported having had their arterial pressure checked, and 70.2% of those with DM reported having had their glucose blood serum level tested in the preceding six months. Drug treatment was prescribed to 99.4% of these patients, and 62.8% of AH patients purchased such drugs from private drugstores, and 57.9% of DM patients received drugs provided by health centers. Over 90% of the patients had no access to educational group activities, and 78% of AH and 92.5% of DM patients had no supervising home visits. These findings suggest the need for primary health care as the mainstay for the care provided to HA and DM.

    Abstract: This article aims to contribute to the debate on the SUS regionalization policy and the establishment of health regions in Brazil. Understanding them require to recognize the dichotomy between public health and individual health - which marks the history of Brazilian public health - and identify the different rationalities that lead this process. Such rationalities allow not only to consider the legacy of municipalization in the current regionalization process, as well as to establish links between the two fields of fundamental knowledge to the debate, epidemiology and geography. Clinical epidemiology, privileging individual health, gives basis to a healthcare model that prioritizes the optimization of resources. The recognition of health in its broader concept, in the social epidemiology, bases an attention model aimed at social determinants. With geography, functional regions can be formulated, based on Christaller's theory, or lablachianas regions which recognize the social loco / regional structure, allowing intervention in determining or conditioning the way of illness and death of populations.

    Abstract: The Family Health Program aims at - and is responsible for - changing the current doctor-centered/disease-healing notion of health care to a health-promoting/disease-preventing notion that is carried out by a multidisciplinary team. Home visits are the main tools for understanding the totality of determinants affecting people's lives. The article discusses the notions of "home visits" as understood by the three major categories of Family Health Program workers - that is, doctors, nurses and community workers - and the interrelation between these notions and training received in basic courses. The "Discourse of the Collective Subject" methodology was applied during interviews. The authors concluded that disparities in the understanding of what home visits would be may hinder the changes proposed to the current health care model. The article also comments these different understandings and their influence on how teams organize work.

    Abstract: This paper presents case study findings in five municipalities in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region. Inequalities in access to health care services and their utilization were described through advanced tabulation data from the 1998 SEADE Life Conditions Survey. The variables analyzed were: owning or not owning private health care insurance, income and age brackets. The health care service attributes studied were: health care services coverage by a health insurance plan, health services demands and average waiting time to receive health care. Compared with other studies, using the 1998 IBGE PNAD, the results allowed us to confirm interregional imbalances which can only be detected in shorter special scale studies: the municipalities. Despite showing the high private health insurances coverage the São Paulo Metropolitan Region has a great inner heterogeneity. The inequalities in private health care insurance, access, waiting time, and type of insurance coverage were observed through income quintiles and age classes analyses. Findings suggest that an expansion of the State's regulation capacity is necessary in order to empower the Brazilian Health Care System principles of universality and equity to be qualified to offer Brazilians the right to access health care services.

    Abstract: This paper discusses the relationship between the public and private sectors in the Unified National Health System (SUS), based on research whose objective was to identify governance strategies and mechanisms for public/private relations in the health sector, considering the search for equity in Greater Metropolitan Sao Paulo, Brazil. Governance was used as an analytical category, with health system regulation as the issue. Municipal and State health secretaries, members of health councils, and SUS staff were interviewed, and the empirical material was classified as: (a) regulatory mechanisms and instruments; (b) power loci; and (c) actors' positions concerning the SUS and its relationship to the private sector. Mechanisms and instruments have been created and used in the municipalities for regulation of their own services. Regulatory measures for the complementary and supplementary healthcare sector are practically nonexistent. There are numerous institutional power loci, seen more as places for submitting demands than as forums for negotiation. Despite some progress, governance appears to be more of a formal issue. Discussion is needed on the relationship between the public and private sectors and its regulation by municipalities in order to improve the health system.

    Abstract: A leishmaniose visceral (LV) é um problema de saúde pública nas cidades brasileiras. Por mais que haja um planejamento de políticas públicas para LV no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, novos casos têm sido notificados e se disseminado. O artigo objetiva discutir como o Centro de Controle de Zoonoses realiza suas atividades espacialmente em uma cidade endêmica, Presidente Prudente, no Estado de São Paulo. Os dados são da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Presidente Prudente, Instituto Adolfo Lutz e Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Estimamos espacialmente a população canina por setor censitário e utilizamos ferramentas de geoprocessamento para produzir mapas coropléticos, tendências espaciais e autocorrelação espacial. Encontramos um padrão espacial de maior prevalência na periferia da cidade e uma autocorrelação espacial positiva estatisticamente significativa (I = 0,2; p 〈 0,000) com clusters de relação alta-alta no noroeste da cidade. Além disso, identificamos uma direção diferente no caminho dos inquéritos sorológicos realizados versus a tendência na LV canina, o que enfatiza a fragilidade das medidas de controle do Centro de Controle de Zoonoses para controlar casos da doença. O Centro de Controle de Zoonoses parece estar sempre correndo atrás da doença. A análise espacial pode ser útil para repensar o funcionamento do serviço e auxiliar as políticas públicas.

    In: PEGADA - A Revista da Geografia do Trabalho, Pegada Eletronica, ( 2014-05-16)
    Abstract: Introdução: O estádio atual de desenvolvimento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) se caracteriza, em parte, pela proeminência do tema regionalização dos serviços e sistema, tendo como norteadora do processo a atenção básica. Esse tema aparece desde a instituição do SUS, porém, somente no início dos anos 2000 ganha forma com os planos diretores de regionalização (PDR) e planos diretores de investimento (PDI), conforme orientados pelas Normas Operacional da Assistência à Saúde - NOAS 2001/2002. O Pacto pela Saúde de 2006 cria os Comitês Gestores Regionais (CGR) como instância organizadora da “regionalização cooperativa e solidária”, modo avançado da proposta das NOAS. Concomitante a essa reorganização político-administrativa, engendra-se a discussão da forma operativa dessa mesma regionalização dos serviços de assistência médica de níveis tecnológicos secundário e terciário. As redes de atenção à saúde foi o modus operandi encontrado pelos técnicos e assessores do Ministério da Saúde e da Comissão Intergestores Tripartite para organizar a assistência médica regionalizada. Como já havia a construção prévia das regiões de saúde desde os anos 2002, as redes de atenção se estruturarão de maneira regionalizada, formando as Redes Regionais de Atenção à Saúde – RRAS. Este momento está em franco processo de construção. Metodologia/Desenvolvimento: Neste projeto avaliaremos o processo de implantação das RRAS e suas relações com as Regiões de Saúde já instituídas no âmbito dos Departamentos Regionais da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo. O lócus da investigação será a Rede Regional de Atenção à Saúde de Presidente Prudente (RRAS-11) e a Rede Regional de Atenção à Saúde Rota dos Bandeirantes (RRAS- 5) localizada na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Para responder as perguntas da pesquisa foi elaborado um plano de analise organizado em uma matriz com dimensões, processos/variáveis, indicadores e fontes de dados do estudo. As dimensões selecionadas foram: Política, Gestão e Atenção. Na dimensão política os processos/variáveis definidos foram: o processo decisório; os mecanismos e instrumentos utilizados na negociação política; os atores envolvidos na regionalização do sistema de saúde e nas redes de atenção à saúde. Na dimensão da gestão será analisado o financiamento; a regulação; o planejamento; a gestão do trabalho e o apoio técnico. Na dimensão da atenção à saúde serão analisados os serviços; as ações (da atenção básica, de vigilância à saúde; de urgência/emergência e as psicossociais) e o apoio técnico. Considerações finais: A organização das Redes Regionais de Atenção à Saúde (RRAS) dar-se-á a partir da atenção básica, atribuição predominante da esfera municipal. A relação entre os serviços desse nível de atenção e os outros serviços de maior complexidade tecnológica, ou “pontos da rede”, que podem estar sob gestão municipal ou estadual, deverá ser o nó a ser desatado. Neste aspecto é que se estrutura o papel do gestor estadual, seja como gestor dos serviços próprios, como contratador de serviços ou como intermediário da relação entre municípios com capacidades de atenção distintas e participantes da rede. Este é o teste porque 45   está passando o SUS nesta etapa de sua consolidação: qual a contribuição que essa política de estado pode oferecer para o aperfeiçoamento das relações federativas no Brasil.

    Abstract: This article evaluates government measures to reduce inequity in the health sector in Belo Horizonte from 1993 to 1997. Our hypothesis is that a municipal administration committed to equity can reduce disparities in health with the support of the Unified National Health System (SUS). The methodology used an urban quality of life index in Belo Horizonte to detect social inequalities in living conditions, as well as differences between the component indices in the infant mortality rate. Other municipal measures were assessed according to the investment resulting from the implementation of a participatory local budget and open planning process. The urban quality of life index appeared to be an appropriate measure for orienting municipal administration. The infant mortality rate proved to be a good indicator for measuring inequality in health. There was a reduction in IMR and mortality reducing gaps in the districts studied. We observed greater investment of physical and financial resources in the districts with the lowest urban quality of life index, and it can thus be stated that the municipal administration reduced the prevailing inequalities.
