Abstract:

The year 2024 marks the twentieth anniversary of the National Pharmaceutical Policy (PNAF), which involves actions to promote, protect, and restore health, with the population's access to medicines and their rational use as an essential part of its principles. This intersectoral policy is strategic for including SUS demands in the agenda of other sectors with impacts on the health field, including those that are part of the Health Economic-Industrial Complex (CEIS). Given its characteristics, the objective of this study was to identify the permeations of PNAF in public policies related to CEIS, between 2004 and 2024, aiming to contribute to the improvement of such policies. The model developed by Walt and Gilson (1994) for the analysis of public policies was adopted, with the identification of contexts proposed by Araújo Júnior and Maciel Filho (2001) and the typology of policies proposed by Walt (1994). The results showed permeations of the principles and strategic axes of the PNAF in 17 sectoral policies related to the CEIS and health over a 20-year period, with notable invisibilities in the period from 2017 to April 2023.
