Abstract:

This case studyaimed to characterize the organization of the Specialized Component of Pharmaceutical Services (CEAF) in 4 Brazilian statesdiverse country regions. Data collection was carried out with representatives of CEAF managementstates in different regions of the country, who answered a questionnaire with 21 questions about: scope, organization, financing, barriers and facilitators. This information was complemented with datanational health surveys, DataSUS, the applied resources and socioeconomic indicators. Differences were observed between states on issues such as the proportion of users and the decentralization of services. These characteristics seem to be related to the degree of development in terms of the socioeconomic indicators used. Advances in access to medicines were highlighted, despite the difficulties, such as insufficient resources, the qualification of human resources and the provision of necessary consultations and exams. The results indicate advances, different forms of organization and highlight the need for more in-depth studies on the clinical and economic outcomes, and on the scope of the component as a strategy to achieve the comprehensive and equal care of patients in need of the high-price medicines.
