The greatest challenge in the development of universal health systems worldwide is to increase organization, training, and regulation of the health workforce (HWF). To accomplish this, the World Health Organization (WHO) has pointed out several strategies utilized since the beginning of the 2000s. One of the world regions with the greatest internal HWF disparities is the Americas, more specifically Latin America and the Caribbean. Brazil is another of the countries in this region that presents great inequities in its HWF distribution, although its Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, or SUS), created after 1988, is one of the largest universal health systems in the world. It is worth noting that Latin America, the Caribbean, and Brazil historically have high levels of social inequality and have recently become regions severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite some advances in the formation and distribution of HWF in Latin America and the Caribbean in the last 10 years, structural problems persist in the health systems of several countries in this region, such as Brazil. The COVID-19 pandemic aggravated some problems such as the distribution of specialized health workers in intensive care units and the precarious working conditions in several public health services that were organized to face the pandemic.
RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo de caso único com enfoque incorporado de base qualitativa, exploratório e retrospectivo, cujo objetivo foi analisar como a gestão do trabalho em saúde é praticada em diferentes modelos de gestão pública no estado de Pernambuco, estudando dois hospitais: um gerenciado por Organização Social de Saúde e o outro sob gestão direta. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, além de análise documental no período de 2007 a 2013. O estudo apontou que o modelo de gestão pública se deu a partir da necessidade de expansão da rede de saúde; além de que existe uma Política de Gestão do Trabalho implantada na Secretaria Estadual de Saúde, com disparidade nos hospitais estudados.
