Abstract:

The study aimed to identify municipal managers\' perception of extraordinary resources and their uses to cope with COVID-19. It is a multiple case study, quantitative and qualitative. We conducted semi-structured interviews with six municipalities in the state of São Paulo. Secondary data extractedinformation systems2020 to 2022 were analyzed. The different municipal realities in terms of population, health expenditures, and access to federal resources allowed observing different financial management strategies and resource allocation. In addition to the extraordinary resources, it was possible to identify, in the analyzed period, the relevant presence of budget transfers by Parliamentary Amendments. In the context of SUS underfunding, extraordinary resources, and budget transfers through Parliamentary Amendments meant, in many cases, the possibility for managers to organize the municipal health system according to their understanding of health needs and possible responses to these needs. The resources to cope with COVID-19 were mainly allocated to medium and high-complexity services and hiring private companies.
