Abstract:

The article aims to analyze the primary care development in the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazilian large cities. The national option for the primary has favored an incremental reform of the health system through the Family Health Strategy. The article considers that cooperative federalism was a precondition for the effectiveness of the new orientation of the public policy. As methodological design, the article uses grouped cross-section data to evaluate the development of primary in the large cities between the years 2008 and 2012. As results, the article demonstrates that expenditures expanded in the health sector in all Brazilian cities, regardless of population size. The growth of municipal health expenditures helps to explain the high level of provision of family health teams observed mainly in small towns in the early 2000s. The analysis of the municipal provision also shows that the supply of family health teams has remained relatively stable during the period analyzed in most municipalities of medium size and large population size. It concludes that the development of the primary care during the study period revealed that the risk of oversupply of health services associated with the health sector decentralization did not occur in Brazil. Large cities made the expansion of primary care according to national guidelines.
