Abstract:

Objective: Assess the health level in the states of Brazil, through the Index of Health Development (IHD). Methods: The IHD was composed by the dimensions: (1) Availability and quality of health resources; (2) Covering of Primary Care Programs and sanitation; (3) Effectiveness of health policies. Each dimension was composed of a set of indicators obtained in national databases. Results: In 2005, Brazil had an intermediate level of development of health, having progressed from a low level, since 1999. Most states had medium and low development, with deficits in resources and coverage. The dimension of effectiveness was highly developed nationwide. Conclusions: With the construction of a synthetic indicator (IHD) was established that most of the country there are severe deficiencies in the availability and quality of health resources. The results can help health managers on the challenging of making universal public health.
