RESUMO
Embora o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) seja implementado de forma descentralizada, com forte ênfase municipalista, o papel de formulação e coordenação nacional da política de saúde se mantém sob a responsabilidade do Ministério da Saúde, o que demonstra a importância da esfera federal na condução e indução dessa política. Este artigo é uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual as técnicas de coleta de dados foram entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise documental. O objetivo foi analisar a estrutura do aparato estatal responsável pela formulação e coordenação da política de saúde brasileira após a década de 1990, a partir da configuração da burocracia do Ministério da Saúde (MS) e as conexões do órgão com as forças societárias do setor. A perspectiva teórica de análise foi o institucionalismo sociológico, apoiado no modelo de autonomia inserida de Peter Evans (1995), somado ao conceito de isomorfismo de DiMaggio & Powell (1983). Os resultados demonstram que a gestão federal do SUS se encontra distante de um modelo tipo ideal weberiano e os avanços da política de saúde podem, parcialmente, ser explicados pela disseminação de uma forte cultura sanitarista que atuou de forma a compensar a ausência de elementos típicos das burocracias tradicionais na condução da política de saúde.
ABSTRACT
Although the National Health System (SUS) is implemented in a decentralized manner, with strong emphasis on the municipal level, the role of formulating and coordinating national health policy remains the responsibility of the Ministry of Health, which shows the importance of federal level in inducting and conducting that policy.This study has as its objective the analysis of the state apparatus' structure responsible for the formulation and coordination of healthcare politics after 1990, starting with the configuration of the bureaucracy of the Ministry of Health and its connections with the societal forces involved in this topic. This analysis is supported by the model of "embedded autonomy" theorized by Peter Evans (1995), based in the comparative institutionalist approach, to treat the State not as isolated from the environment, but as sensitive to the surrounding social relations coupled with the concept of isomorphism by Powell and DiMaggio (1983).The study reveals that the federal management of SUS was developed by an extremely vulnerable administrative frame, through analysis of both the recruitment model of the servants of the Ministry of Health headquarters as well as the processes of internal promotion in the sector. Nonetheless, healthcare policy is still recognized nationally, after the consolidation of SUS, as one of the most successful social policies. Advances in health policy can partially be explained by the spread of a strong hygienist culture that led to compensation for the absence of typical elements of traditional bureaucracies in the conduction of health policy.
