Saúde, Desenvolvimento Econômico E Desigualdade Nos Municípios Do Rio Grande Do Sul: Um Estudo Sobre Gasto Público E Idese

Abstract

Resumo:A saúde é um fator intrínseco ao desenvolvimento social e econômico, sendo ao mesmo tempo um determinante, uma medida e um resultado do progresso.Este estudo pretende analisar a capacidade das políticas públicas de financiamento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) de contribuir para o desenvolvimento econômico e diminuir as desigualdades em saúde, observando a relação entre o gasto per capita com saúde e o Idese, no período de 2007 a 2010, nos municípios e nos Coredes do Rio Grande do Sul.O estudo conclui que o aumento do gasto per capita em saúde não reflete imediata melhora no Idese, portanto as desigualdades entre as regiões do estado se acentuam.Palavras-chave: Economia da saúde.

Castro et al (2015) sought to investigate the UHS expenditure and its effect in the reduction of inequalities in the municipalities and in planning regions in the same state. The authors pointed out that public spending on health alone did not result in direct improvements in welfare and did not decrease inequalities between regions.…”

“…The authors point out that a possible reason for these results includes the fact that organization of the health system is hierarchical; thus, when counting municipal expenditure alone, distorted per capita expenditure information is obtained, since larger municipalities serve the population of several municipalities (Castro et al 2015;Ramos and Angel, 2010). Pelegrini and Castro (2012) identify the existence of a significant correlation between life expectancy and the level of public spending on health, using data from 179 countries.…”
