Abstract:

With the aim of identifying the impact of macro-political measures placed into practice in the second half of the 1990s on the growth in public expenditures on health and the possible reduction in allocation inequity, a descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study was carried out involving 184 municipalities in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. For such, the Public Health Budget Information System was used, with expenditures on health per inhabitant under the responsibility of the municipality used as the indicator. The correlations of this variable with the municipal Human Development Index, population size and value of the municipal budget per capita were analyzed. It was demonstrated that, although the mean increase in municipal expenditures on health is 190.76%, the value per capita has remained quite small – at around R$183.79, which is below the national and macro-regional averages. Both expenditures on health per capita and growth percentages are distributed irregularly among health regions as well as among municipalities within a single region. In conclusion, there is profound allocation inequity among municipalities with regard to the distribution of public resources for health, despite the macro-political measures adopted to reduce this inequity.
