Resumo: The article analyzes Federal funding of health policy in Brazil in the 2000s, focusing on the Ministry of Health’s budget implementation. Federal spending on health was less unstable between 2000 and 2002 and has expanded since 2006. However, it fluctuated as a share of both the Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Revenue. Federal intergovernmental transfers increased, exceeding 70% in 2007. Meanwhile, the proportion of Federal investments remained low, varying from 3.4% to 6.3%. The highest absolute amount of spending was on specialized outpatient and hospital care. The decade showed a proportionally greater increase in spending on pharmaceutical care. The growing allocation of Federal funds to States in the North and Northeast, especially for primary care and epidemiological surveillance, failed to offset the sharp regional inequalities in per capita Federal spending. The main characteristics of health funding limit Federal health policy governance and pose several challenges for the Brazilian Unified National Health System.

El estudio registró menor inestabilidad de 2000 a 2002, con mayor crecimiento del gasto federal desde 2006. Sin embargo, el gasto osciló como proporción del PBI y de la recaudación bruta federal. La participación presupuestaria de las transferencias intergubernamentales aumentó a un 70% en 2007. En lo referente a las inversiones la proporción fue más baja, variando de un 3,4% a un 6,3% entre 2002 y 2011. El mayor volumen de gastos correspondió al programa de asistencia hospitalaria y ambulatoria especializada y al aumento relativo a la asistencia farmacéutica e insumos estratégicos. Existen esfuerzos de desconcentración de recursos hacia regiones con falta de recursos -mediante programas de atención básica y vigilancia- insuficientes para superar desigualdades regionales. Las características del financiamiento de la política de salud limitan la gobernabilidad federal y representan un desafío para el Sistema Único de Salud.O artigo analisa as mudanças na participação federal no financiamento da saúde nos anos 2000, enfocando a execução orçamentária do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Observou-se menor instabilidade de 2000 a 2002 e, a partir de 2006, maior crescimento do gasto federal em saúde. Entretanto, o gasto oscilou como proporção do Produto Interno Bruto e das Receitas Correntes Brutas da União. A participação das transferências intergovernamentais aumentou, ultrapassando 70% em 2007. Já a proporção dos investimentos foi baixa, variando de 3,4% a 6,3%, entre 2002 e 2011. O maior volume de gastos correspondeu ao programa de assistência hospitalar e ambulatorial especializada e o maior aumento relativo, à assistência farmacêutica e insumos estratégicos. Identificaram-se esforços quanto à desconcentração de recursos para regiões mais carentes – por meio dos programas de atenção básica e vigilância – que não foram suficientes para superar as desigualdades regionais existentes. As características do financiamento da política de saúde limitam a governabilidade federal e colocam desafios ao SUS.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2014-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5668Reports in Public Health; Vol. 30 No. 1 (2014): JanuaryCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 30 n. 1 (2014): Janeiro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5668/11791https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5668/11792Cristiani Vieira MachadoLuciana Dias de LimaCarla Lourenço Tavares de Andradeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:51Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/5668Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:06:29.257790Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
