RESUMO
Ao longo dos últimos 30 anos, o Sistema Único de Saúde brasileiro se caracterizou por importantes mudanças na atenção à saúde. No presente artigo, são apresentados dados relativos à evolução das estruturas ambulatorial e hospitalar, e dos recursos humanos, bem como acerca da utilização dos serviços de saúde. A expansão da rede pública ocorreu principalmente entre as unidades que dão suporte aos programas de atenção básica, ampliando o acesso às consultas médicas e a redução das internações para um conjunto de doenças, mas persiste uma carência de profissionais, especialmente no cuidado odontológico. Entretanto, a despeito do avanço na cobertura, permanecem os desafios à continuidade do SUS e à melhoria da qualidade do cuidado, particularmente no tocante ao financiamento público, oferta de serviços, e na relação com o setor privado.(AU)
ABSTRACT
Significant changes have been witnessed in the Brazilian health system over the last 30 years. This article outlines trends in outpatient and hospital care, staffing, and health service use during this period. There was a significant expansion of the public health network, particularly of primary care services, leading to improved access to consultations and a reduction in hospital admissions. However, there is a persistent shortage of health professionals in Brazil's public health system, particularly dentists. Despite improvements in coverage, the public system continues to face serious challenges, particularly with respect to funding, service provision, and its relationship with the private sector.
