Public health financing in Brazil (2019–2022): an analysis of the national health fund and implications for health management
The distribution profile of resources transferred from the FNS reflected population sizes but it is less clear whether resources were allocated based on need. Overall, there was a scarcity of resources allocated to areas such as investment. However, the COVID-19 pandemic represented a considerable impact on government funds. Health and social needs must be assessed and considered going forward to improve the allocation of resources within a unified health system.
