Abstract:

The need to request the public health manager to assuring the right of access to medicines characterizes the administrative cases. The aim of the study was to analyze the perceptions of plaintiffs requesting medicines in administrative cases about barriers to access to medicines in the Brazilian public health sector. A mixed-method study involving a focus group and a questionnaire with plaintiffs requesting medicines in administrative cases and description of the medicines required was used tl collect data. The thematic analysis was performed using an electronic spreadsheet. The results point to the interdependence of pharmaceutical services with the areas of interfacing to assure access. The barriers related to individuals reflect the commitment to the development of citizenship, justifying the cost of the medicine to motivate the demand. Barriers to service provision include irregular availability of medicines, insufficient resources and unsatisfactory quality of services. The difficulty in obtaining medical consultations and the requirement for prescription originating in the public sector are barriers to the health sector. The barriers above the health sector are compliance with administrative procedures, corruption and clientelism. The administrative cases intensifies inequities in access to health in Brazil.
