Abstract:The study analyses the evolution of the supply and consumption of public healthcare services within the municipality of São Paulo between 2000 and 2012. In the period services offered grew and the disparity between the supply and consumption of public health services across the areas with the best and worst indices of income, education and health decreased. To explain these results we discuss the municipal policies adopted during the period and explore their relation with both electoral competition and the com… Show more
“…However, a study shows that, for a better adherence to prophylaxis, it does not suffice to provide medication to the users and schedule them to return 30 days later with no direct follow-up of the appropriate use of PEP. The importance of improving communication strategies and following these users through the duration of prophylaxis is emphasized (24)(25)(26)(27)(28) .…”

“…A study conducted in 2013 has shown that South and Southwest Brazil offered better conditions for access to health services to the populations (23) ; even so, these are exactly the areas whose municipalities have the highest rates of AIDS incidence, which highlights the need for considering expanding investment to enhance SUS and policies for fighting the epidemic. The state of São Paulo, a pioneer in establishing policies to fight STI, and especially HIV/ AIDS (24) , has been promoting the decentralization of actions to municipalities, which enables advances in SUS structure and is reflected in better access to health services (25) .…”
Objective: To analyze conditions which interfere with adherence to HIV post-sexual exposure prophylaxis. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted in two health care services specializing in HIV/AIDS in São Paulo city. Interviewees included men and women who were eighteen or older, sought care due to consensual sexual relation, and had a recommendation for prophylaxis. The questionnaires which compose the social reproduction index and adherence to prophylaxis were used as parameters. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests and summation of the employed instrument through programs Excel® and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences® were performed. Ethical principles have been respected. Results: Forty-nine users have been identified; their mean age was 34.7 and they were predominantly men (95.9%). Out of these, 83.6% were men who have sex with men. The conditions which correlated with adherence (p<0.05) were taking post-sexual exposure prophylaxis prior to that appointment and continuing to take the medication. Conclusion: Health professionals are responsible for establishing rapport with service users, especially during the first appointment, to contribute to adherence interventions plans.

“…On the one hand, by including more women, racial minorities, and poor people, the councils come much closer to reflecting Brazil's demographic profile than traditional representative institutions do (Coelho 2004;2007). Additionally, Coelho associates their existence to reductions in the inequality of service provision between rich and poor regions, as councils located in the periphery more intensively argued for devoting funds to the expansion of healthcare facilities, such as Health Units and hospitals (Coelho 2013;Coelho, Szabzon, and Dias 2014). However, she also finds that the health councils' existence is associated with a slight increase in inequality between poorer regions, which she ascribes to differences in the capacity to mobilize for funding (such as informal access to relevant governmental authorities).…”

Deliberative democracy has grown into an influential normative paradigm for political theory and reform programs alike, but doubts persist about its desirability in a world where strategic action and inequality are prevalent. This problem has spurred efforts to understand the empirical dynamics of power relations in institutionalized participation. This article argues that sociolegal scholarship has yet to join this turn to power but that doing so can help it to specify law’s causal and normative relevance in deliberative governance. This is because the legal environment within which actors interact affects causal mechanisms by distributing opportunities for the exercise of power between potential participants, actual participants, and participants and government. The utility of a power-distributional perspective is illustrated through a study of São Paulo’s health councils, one of the world’s largest experiments in deliberative governance. The study demonstrates that the councils’ trajectory and current functioning—including some of their normatively problematic aspects—cannot be understood without reference to legal arrangements. This article is meant as a building block for sociolegal scholarship to continue investigating deliberation.
“…Tendo em vista a flagrante heterogeneidade das condições de vida e de atenção à saúde presentes nos diferentes recantos do território nacional, a necessidade de particularizar os achados dessa pesquisa se mostra de fundamental importância, sob pena de não se conseguir apreender essa diversidade de situações e, portanto, não se obter o conhecimento necessário para intervir adequadamente nos problemas e acompanhar o impacto das ações propostas. (COELHO;SZABZON;DIAS, 2014).…”
Este artigo aborda as despesas com a função saúde e suas sub funções no âmbito da administração pública municipal de Montes Claros/MG, durante três gestões. Foram consultados orçamentos de 2005 a 2016 nos registros da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde, atualizados pela inflação a partir da aplicação do Índice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo(IPC-A). A série histórica foi analisada à luz da teoria e comparada com IBGE e Ministério da Saúde/. Os resultados principais apontam que o modelo de saúde percebido nas três gestões é hospitalocêntrico, corroborado pela baixa (taxa) cobertura do Programa Saúde da Família que está aquém do recomendado. Independente da gestão e da fonte de recurso, há certo padrão de gastos por sub função, sem descontinuidade do modelo assistencial. Mesmo havendo descontinuidades, não afetam gastos com saúde e cumprimento da Emenda Constitucional 29 (EC 29), o que pode significar que existe uma tendência de manutenção do gasto devido à estrutura de pactuação já consolidada.
