Abstract:

Access to health services is a multifaceted and multidimensional issue involving political, economic, social, organizational, technical and symbolic aspects, in the establishment of paths to universal health care. This theoretical review paper intends to discuss the different approaches, analysis of the context and policies for special groups on access, marking an analysis model delineated by the above aspects, from readings on the topic in question. This analyzes reveal a diversity of approaches to access the formulation and implementation of public policies and their potential for changes in the organization of the health system. We identified progress in reducing inequities in health and increased access to the network of the Unified Health System (SUS), especially in primary care. There were also limitations related to accessibility, fragmentation, decentralization and regionalization of the service network, with inadequacies in the process of care and attention to specific groups, and regional disparities. Finally, the analysis model proposed seeks to develop a critical stance to reflect and intervene in the practices and health services, with the objective of a responsible concern image, full, effective, equitable and quality.
