Resumo: |
Brazil is an emerging country with increasing economic development in the last 20 years and with the seventh richest economy in the world. However, Brazil's ranking on the United Nations Human Development Index (79th position, based on 2014 data) is paradoxically low compared to its economic status. The continental dimensions of Brazil widen the inequalities between its regions, and the Amazon is the least developed area in the country. In this article, we discuss some of the reasons for the shortage of neurologists in the Brazilian Amazon. In addition, we discuss possible new strategies to reduce these inequalities in public health in the near future. |
