Abstract:

Decentralization and regionalization represent constitutional guidelines for the organization of the Unified Health System, which in the last 20 years has required the adoption of mechanisms to coordinate and accommodate federative tensions in Brazil’s health care sector. This paper analyses the national implementation of the Health Pact between 2006 and 2010, a strategy that reconfigures intergovernmental relations in the sector. The study involved the analysis of documents, official data and interviews with federal, state and municipal managers from the Brazilian states. The content of the national proposal is initially discussed, including its implications for health policy. Then the different rhythms and degrees of implementation of the Health Pact are reviewed, as far as adhesion by states and municipalities and the formation of Regional Management Boards are concerned. Finally, the conditioning factors for the multiple experiences observed in the country are identified and the challenges for progress toward a decentralized and regionalized health system in Brazil are discussed.
