Resumen
Descripción
Over the last 20 years, Brazil has seen
profound economic, political, and demographic changes. After
a period of military dictatorship (from 1964 to 1985),
political and economic stability was achieved in the
mid-1990s. The country has urbanized, improved access to
water and sanitation, achieved solid economic growth, and
reduced income inequality. It was one of the first Latin
American countries to establish universal health coverage
(UHC) as a fundamental right, based on the principles that
health care is a duty of the state and should be free at the
point of use. The reform in the late 1980s created the
Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, or SUS) and
was based on the principle that health care should be free
at the point of use to all Brazilian citizens.
