Abstract:

Summary: The article analyzes the formation of the first pharmaceutical assistance policies implemented by the Brazilian Federal Government between 1968 and 1974, during the civil-military dictatorship. It examines a set of measures adopted by the Costa e Silva and Médici governments to contain a continuous rise in the prices of raw materials and pharmaceutical specialties, with this context being fundamental to the creation of the Medicines Center (CEME) in 1971. The central argument of the article is that CEME represented the consolidation, at the federal level, of a policy carried out at the National Institute of Social Security (INPS) between 1968 and 1970, based on the production of inputs and medicines in public laboratories. Ended in 1970, this policy was resumed the following year with broad participation of military personnel and laboratories of the Armed Forces, with the originality of this article being to explain how such support influenced the establishment of CEME in its early years. Until 1974, military members were the majority in the Board of Directors of CEME, with some of the agency\'s early missions being the supply for Civil-Social Actions of the Armed Forces. The minutes of 200 meetings of this committee between 1972 and 1974 constitute the main sources that support the article.
