A profissão médica, sua dinâmica de precarização e concentração: uma análise para o Estado do Ceará

Abstract

Among the current challenges faced by the Brazilian State, it is pointed out the difficulty in guaranteeing for all the Fundamental Social Right to health, foreseen in art. 6 of the 1988 Federal Constitution. As a reflection of this challenge, the precariousness of health care in the country and the concentration of medical professionals in the capital regions to the detriment of the interior stand out. In the last two decades, the Brazilian government has created Public Health Policies in order to solve this precariousness of health care, seeking to meet the needs of the medical professional, as well as the health system user, also aiming at the deconcentration of the capitals and large urban centers. The objective of this study is to associate economic theories to the health sector to analyze such problems that hinder the quality of health care in the country, focusing on Ceará. In a complementary way, characterize the Public Policies implemented between the years 2000 and 2017, specifically the Mais Médicos Program. With the results obtained, it is concluded that many efforts have already been made by the State to provide a more dignified health to the population, however, it is also perceived that much more needs to be done to achieve a an ideal health model for all Cearense and Brazilian society.
