Brazil’s health care system combines public and private health care resources in its unique way, and under the 1988 Federal Constitution, all people living in Brazil enjoy basic health care rights, which makes Brazil’s public health system global An important case in the field of public health, this system is called SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde, Unified Health System), aims to provide comprehensive health services through a variety of public health care units that meet the basic needs of residents, from first aid to preventive medicine, diagnostic tests and surgery
The Brazilian government established the SUS to provide accessible and affordable health care to all Brazilians
However, despite the nominal provision of indiscriminate health care by SUS, the actual access to these services is very complicated in some remote areas of Brazil Sexuality is almost negligible, according to the report, in large cities, despite more sound services, patients often face the reality of long queues for treatment
In some cases, patients in Brazil have chosen to require SUS to cover health care costs in non-public institutions through legal pathways, showing the interaction and conflict between the law and the health care system Nonetheless, recent legislation in Brazil has enabled private hospitals in Under-funded patients must not be refused in critical moments of life, which further expands the scope of SUS services
According to the World Health Organization, total spending on health in Brazil reached 8.3% of GDP in 2014
In many developing countries, public health care systems are often challenged by funding shortages, and this is no exception for Brazil, where many health care services that are supposed to be provided may not be operational due to changing economic conditions and policy constraints. leading to a decrease in the level of care In addition, under the SUS system, the treatment needs of some conditions cannot be met in a timely manner, and patients often need to seek other alternatives privately
Such a phenomenon is not isolated in Brazil, and public health care systems in many countries around the world face similar dilemmas. By integrating various health care resources as well as legislative safeguards, Brazilian health systems are struggling to provide them with limited resources Best service.
Can SUS serve as a reference for other countries in global health systems so that more people can benefit from efficient public health services
