Towards an industrial policy for expanding access to health

Abstract

The text presents and discusses a new direction of the Unified Health System (SUS) policy geared toward the Health Industrial Complex. A policy aimed at the technological and productive development of public and private companies in the health field flourished from 2007 to 2016 and has been weakened and deformed since then. Despite its success, the so-called Productive Development Policy (PDP) evidenced some weaknesses that must be tackled during its resumption. Besides suggesting this resumption, the text proposes to expand the policy by articulating the primary PDP tool - Public-Private Partnerships - with other related policies that involve the health industry operated by the Ministry of Health.

Key words:
Health Industrial Complex; Public-Private Partnerships
