Presentation prepared for an International Conference organised by the Centre for Public
Policy, Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, December 30, 2011. This research was
sponsored by the Centre for Budget and Policy Studies, Bangalore. I am grateful to Brazilian
scholars and government officials who gave me generously of their time. I visited health
institutions in Brasilia, Manaus, Belo Horizonte and met with professors in Rio de Janeiro,
Recife and Sao Paulo in addition to the other cities. This is an overview study of thesystem, not a evaluation of what Brazil has achieved. Responsibility for errors of fact and
opinion is mine alone.

See also http://worldfocus.org/blog/2009/01/26/the-highs-and-lows-of-universal-health-
care-in-brazil/3768/. This is from a US perspective, and sees a competition for resources
between primary care and tertiary care. I see it as underfunding of health as a whole.

The central idea is to collect and keep updated, through decentralized data entry, a
concise number of variables with clear and standardized response options. Therelatively easy-to-use format of the questionnaire as well as the proximity to the
data generating fact ensures more precision and enables faster updating processes.
Alongside, the decentralization as well as the standardization of the responses
guarantees, on the one hand, national coverage, on the other, utility for national
policy makers usage.

UPA: Units of Prompt Assistance. There are complaints of loing waiting times at UPAs. This
could be due to underfunding of the health as a whole.

Guarana is grown in the region and has many uses. It is like our traditional cereal like ragi,
slow in digesting. A processed version is available as a soft drink in other parts of the
country. I saw some packets being sold as a Amazon viagra.

I have heard that members of the Commission are retred executives of the insurance
companies, and some argue they have been captured. They have introduced some
reformsshift from one company to another, some uniformity in the plans and rates etc.
They have also regularly approved increases in premia.

We need to understand this complaint about waiting. It is trotted out as a problem
whenever we discuss public provision of a service. In Bangalore, we have to wait at private
hospitals, sometimes for two hours, after paying the full fee. If we ask for service to be on
arrival, then the level of investment will be very high. For non emergency matters, good
organisation together with moderate wait should be acceptable.
