Abstract:

This article investigates financing and the decentralization process in order to examine the composition, direction and management of health care resources. The sample was composed of 14 municipalities in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The study involved data collection of financial transfers, the municipality’s own resources and basic health care expenses. Management analysis included a survey of local managers and counselors. It was observed that the National Health System is financed mainly by federal transfers and municipal revenues and to a much lesser extent by state resources. Funds have been directed predominantly to basic care. The management process showed centralization in the city governments. Municipal secretariats and councils, which partially enforce legislation, exhibit problems with autonomy and social control. The results demonstrate that planning and management instruments are limited, due to the institutional, political and cultural contradictions inherent to the region.
