“…Protagonism that was often assumed by developed countries, often lined to issues of colonization and military involvement that culminated in the discovery of medicines. Malaria is a good example of this, as its main medicines were developed following US government research because of the large numbers of casualties, in World War II, malaria was responsible for more than 21,000 hospital admissions, including hospitalizations for combat wounds with 17,000 cases (Bastos, 2006;Campos, 1999).…”

The "epidemiological transition" has fostered increasing attention to chronic and non-communicable diseases, but neglected diseases are still present and their relationship with the population's socioeconomic inequalities is increasingly evident, so much so that there has been a conceptual conversion to call them “poverty-related diseases”. It is a necessary to review and to discuss the characteristics and challenges of Brazilian pharmaceutical policies for populations affected by diseases related to poverty. This review of the literature was carried out, with works of the last 10 years dealing with the theme and the Brazilian reality. Out of the 272 identified articles, only 43 publications were included in this study. The results were: (i) the difficulties of investing in the research, development and production of new drugs for these diseases; (ii) the characteristics of access policies to medicines already available, their advances and limitations; (iii) and issues related to the right to comprehensive pharmaceutical assistance. Therefore, for the available therapies, national production and federal funding contributed to guarantee the supply. Assisted qualification actions are necessary and little discussed in area studies.

“…A malária é um bom exemplo disso, pois seus principais medicamentos foram desenvolvidos após incentivos de pesquisa do governo e laboratórios norte-americanos, dado o grande número de baixas de soldados na primeira e segunda guerras mundiais. Nesta última, a malária foi responsável por mais de 21 mil internações hospitalares, superior inclusive as internações por ferimentos de combate com cerca de 17 mil casos (BASTOS, 2006;CAMPOS, 1999).…”

Malaria has always been an important public health problem in Brazil. The early history of Brazilian malaria and its control was powered by colonisation by Europeans and the forced relocation of Africans as slaves. Internal migration brought malaria to many regions in Brazil where, given suitableAnopheles mosquito vectors, it thrived. Almost from the start, officials recognised the problem malaria presented to economic development, but early control efforts were hampered by still developing public health control and ignorance of the underlying biology and ecology of malaria. Multiple regional and national malaria control efforts have been attempted with varying success. At present, the Amazon Basin accounts for 99% of Brazil’s reported malaria cases with regional increases in incidence often associated with large scale public works or migration. Here, we provide an exhaustive summary of primary literature in English, Spanish and Portuguese regarding Brazilian malaria control. Our goal was not to interpret the history of Brazilian malaria control from a particular political or theoretical perspective, but rather to provide a straightforward, chronological narrative of the events that have transpired in Brazil over the past 200 years and identify common themes.
