The health system in Brazil
Unlike many countries in the world, in Brazil's health care is a right, a common good.But, there are several cracks in Brazil´s health care system.
The federal health care is minimal, failing to meet the several needs, while several managerial, human and infrastructural problems remain.
Brazil´s universal healthcare system is called the Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Health System, SUS). SUS is decentralized. The management and implementation of policies are the responsability of the state and municipal goverments.
In addition to provide free primary care, surgery and medication, SUS also provides a Family Health Program where doctors and nurses visite the houses to provide services to needy people. The idea of the goverment to be responsible for the health care became part of the brazillian constitution in 1988.
This idea seems to have paid off but several challenges remain. There is a shortage of doctors and nurses especially in rural areas. Many hospitals are also poorly managed, consequently many of the poor in need have had to purchase private insurance or pay for this kind of services.
