ABSTRACT
This article discusses the interplay of different forms of accountability in the context of the Indigenous Health Subsystem of Brazil’s Unified Health System (SASI-SUS), via a case study of the Rio Negro Special Indigenous Health District (DSEI-ARN) in the State of Amazonas. Focusing on a case of indigenous mobilisation triggered by a malaria outbreak it highlights some of the underlying dilemmas that derive from the embedding of conflicting accountability logics within the architecture of the SASI-SUS.
