Abstract

This is a bibliography of research that aimed to evaluate the overall performance of the Brazilian State in the fulfillment of its purposes, with respect to health. And, as specific objectives: to describe the evolution process of the Brazilian State and the definition of its key objectives; assess whether the Brazilian government has increased its duties and has failed to fulfill its purposes, mainly for the provision of health services to underserved populations; and demonstrate that the strengthening of democratic management can help make the state more efficient. It is noteworthy that Brazil is a democratic state. The Federal Constitution is in force since 1988 lists its key objectives, showing its political and administrative organization and defines its responsibilities, recognizing that it is their duty to promote and guarantee citizens the right to health, education, safety, housing, leisure, work, etc. However, despite the fundamental objectives of the Brazilian State are too enumerated in the Constitution into force, this is becoming less and make the necessary effort so that the people have access to better quality public services, like health and education. Through this study we can see that to overcome the crisis currently experienced by public health services is necessary, and extensive investments, a new health care reform, assuming that most Brazilian public hospitals need of reform and expansions in physical areas, as well as better and more health professionals. Oblivious to the crisis facing public health at all levels, the Brazilian government invests in stocks that are not part of its basic purpose described in the Constitution in force, being inefficient compared to the performance of their duties and commitment to society.
