Introduction: Laboratory analyzes, which are fundamental to the SNVS, aim to minimize the risks from health-related products, services, and environments, requiring available and timely financial resources for laboratories to perform their activities. Objective: The study describes and analyzes the federal funding of laboratory health surveillance actions in Brazil, from 2007 to 2016. Method: This is a study of bibliographic and documentary analysis using federal financial transfer orders, besides agreements, terms cooperation and other voluntary transfers present in Management Reports of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). Results: The transfers were classified into two categories: (i) automatic transfers of fund-to-fund resources, intended for the execution of the set of laboratory actions at regular intervals (monthly or quarterly) or for specific purposes (annual); and (ii) voluntary transfers of resources comprising covenants and the like. The repercussions of federal funding on laboratories and their activities were discussed. The laboratories of SP, PE, INCQS, BA and MG were awarded, respectively, with the largest amounts. In the analysis of the total values transferred from fund to fund according to regions, the Northeast is highlighted, followed by the Southeast. Conclusions: In spite of the relevance of the allocation of federal resources and the specific destination for some laboratory activities, we highlight the need to construct a solid financing policy for the Public Health Surveillance Laboratory.
