Uma análise sobre o planejamento e orçamento do plano de saúde do município de Santo André referente ao período de 2018 a 2021

Abstract

Public health is an extremely important issue for everyone. In Brazil, the 1988 Federal Constitution guarantees free and accessible health care for the entire population, ensuring equal access to health care services and actions. This highlights the need for each government institution to seek to manage its resources in a way that guarantees humane and quality care, so that there is adequate use of public health resources. This analysis focuses on the municipality of Santo André, in the state of Paraíba, from 2018 to 2021. A qualitative and quantitative approach was used, since through documentary research and a semi-structured interview with the manager responsible for the health department in the indicated municipality, it was possible to develop data collection, cutting out the health revenue and expenditure data, as well as indicators of care in primary and specialized care, providing a general picture of these aspects that involved the health plan from 2018 to 2021. Based on the results, it is clear that the municipality is in a similar situation to others of similar size and has not used its resources in all the expected procedures. It was also possible to identify possible deficits in the investment of the municipality's resources and propose viable improvements.
