Abstract:

This article articulates contemporary themes of the development agenda as global phenomena that affect the diffusion and direction of technical progress in health, conditioning the sustainability of the Unified Health System. Through the evaluation of the external dependence of the Brazilian Economic Industrial Health Complex; by the bibliographical review of the literature on economic complexity and its data on Latin America and Brazil; and through the collection and evaluation of statistical data of the World Intellectual Property Organization and the National Institute of Industrial Property, a panorama is constructed in which the reiteration of this center-periphery pattern is verified in multiple themes and geographical scales. As a result of this analytical perspective for health policy, the endogenous link between national development patterns and the structural possibilities and limits for the formation of a universal health system in Brazil is consolidated. The confrontation of global technological asymmetries is part of a strategic agenda that conditions the advancing of the Unified Health System in the sense of its founding principles of universality, comprehensiveness and equity.
