Abstract:

The evolution of the epidemiological situation of some of the major communicable diseases (CD) in Brazil are presented, noting the interventions provided by SUS and other social policies. Data and information were collectedDatasus and epidemiological newslettersthe Ministry of Health and scientific articles on the issue. The universalization, decentralization and expansion of surveillance, control and prevention actions of communicable diseases/CD produced impact on morbidity and mortality of these diseases, mainlyvaccine-preventable diseases. The emergence and re-emergence of three arboviruses, for which there are no effective control instruments, interrupted the downward trend in the morbidity profile of CD in Brazil. Other social and economic programs, geared to the more needy brazilian population, have also contributed to the improvement of the analysed health indicators. However, the universalization of access to health care services, next to the improvement of the acting scope of surveillance on diseases and health risks, has been playing a key role in improving the health and quality of life of the population, as well as contributing to the process of democratization of the country.
