Abstract:

This article analyzes the government\'s strategic agenda for coping with COVID-19 in Brazil, focusing on hospital care. 28 Contingency Plans were analyzed in full, 01 national, 26 state and 01the Federal District. The theoretical framework of the Public Policy Cycle was used, specifically the moments of pre-decision and government decision to face the pandemic. The evidence revealed convergences between the national and state levels in terms of proposals for reorienting the flow of care, case detection and referral hospitals. However, the state agendas showed weaknesses related to the acquisition of mechanical ventilation devices, dimensioning of human resources, regionalization of hospital care, in addition to the fact that few states have established a method for calculating back beds, mainly regarding the forecast of opening hospitals in reference or complementary contracting of ICU beds. It is concluded that the heterogeneity of actions explained in the plans reveals the complexity of the process of coping with COVID-19 in Brazil with its regional inequalities, weaknesses in the state health systems and reduced coordination by the Ministry of Health.
