ABSTRACT

Resumo O Brasil reconhece o acesso a medicamentos como parte do direito à saúde e adota políticas públicas para propiciar sua garantia. No entanto, a Política Nacional de Assistência Farmacêutica não tem conseguido atender a essa demanda. Em parte, por isso, tem crescido o recurso ao Poder Judiciário para a obtenção desses medicamentos no país. Com o objetivo de conhecer as características das ações judiciais, realizou-se uma revisão com busca sistemática dos estudos de natureza empírica, publicados entre 1988 e 2014, sobre a judicialização do acesso a medicamentos no Brasil. Os 53 estudos revisados apresentam achados que ajudam a compreender o fenômeno: as liminares são concedidas na quase totalidade dos casos; parcela considerável das ações poderia ter sido evitada caso fossem observadas as alternativas terapêuticas do SUS. Os estudos revisados não permitem afirmar nem negar que os valores gastos com a compra de medicamentos demandados judicialmente comprometam o orçamento do SUS. Enfim, as pesquisas realizadas permitem que se compreenda melhor o fenômeno da judicialização, embora seja recomendável a realização de outros estudos que descrevam características ainda pouco definidas da judicialização do acesso a medicamentos no Brasil.


Abstract Brazil recognizes access to medicines as part of the right to health and adopts public policies to provide its guarantee. However, the National Policy on Pharmaceutical Assistance has not been able to meet this demand. In part because of this, there has been a growing recourse to the Judiciary to obtain these medicines in the country. In order to know the characteristics of the lawsuits, a systematic review of the empirical studies published between 1988 and 2014 on the judicialization of access to medicines in Brazil was carried out. The 53 studies reviewed present findings that help to understand the phenomenon: injunctions are granted in almost all cases; A considerable portion of the actions could have been avoided if the therapeutic alternatives of SUS were observed. The studies reviewed do not allow to affirm or deny that the amounts spent on the purchase of drugs demanded judicially compromise SUS budget. Finally, the research carried out allows us to better understand the phenomenon of judicialization, although it is advisable to carry out other studies that describe characteristics that have not yet been defined in the judicialization of access to medicines in Brazil.
