Abstract:

This paper analyzes Minister of Health (MOH) procurement of drugs for hepatitis C2005 to 2015. Data sources werethe registration in the Integrated General Services Administration (SIASG). To estimate contracted annual expenditure ed medicines of the MoH Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines (PCDT) for Hepatitis C, all presentations and concentrations registered in SIASG were included. The unit price were estimated based on the purchase with the highest volume of each year. There was an increase of 19.7 times the expenditure on medicines ed2005 to 2006 because those products became to be centralized procured. In 2007 there was 700% increase in spending by the incorporation of peginterferon alpha 2a and 2b. In 2012 and 2014 the purchase of two new Direct-acting antivirals (DAA) represented 95% of annual expenditure. In 2015 the adoption of new DAA caused an increase of 230% (R$945 million) in MOH spending. The significant increasing of MOH expenditure on medicines for hepatitis C2005 to 2015 was due to the increase in the volume purchased and to the technological incorporation of peginterferon and new DAA. To ensure universal access to treatment of hepatitis C depends on the implementation of strategies to increase the MOH bargaining power in price reduction negotiations with manufacturers of monopolistic medicines.
