Social Organizations and State Foundations of Private Law at the Unified Health System: relation between the public and the private and social control mechanisms

This article aimed to characterize, at national level, the governance models of Social Organizations and State Foundations of Private Law, assuming that the rules interfere with the functioning of institutions and the performance of the actors, based on the analytical framework of historical neo-institutionalism, specifically regarding the relation between the public and the private and the mechanisms of social control, from the existing legal frameworks. The analysis shows important differences between models, especially regarding the alignment to the principles of the Unified Health System. However, in different ways, both models are penetrable to the private sector and less open to social participation.
