In all political
programs that have been presented during the electoral processes of the
Americas, issues related to health care and the ways to avoid epidemics were
always considered of national relevance. The motives for the construction of
public health systems were justified by several reasons such as the urgency of
ensuring the quality and productivity of the working class, the projects of strengthening national cohesion through popular sovereignty and, finally, the
theses on the relations between freedom and civil and social equality.
Therefore, several reforms on medical education and the development of public
health technologies are gradually being impacted and redirected as state
policies and their discussions about the citizens’ right to health and the
extension of the state’s duty to guarantee it. In this sense, the objective of
this Panel is to discuss how projects and experiences related to the financing
of health systems by the public treasury in the Americas between the XIX and
XXI centuries have been developed. In addition, we hope to discuss the
understanding of the problem of public health financing through the
particularities of their state projects, successful or not. We aim to analyze
these experiences, with their approximations and differences, ruptures and
permanences, revealing the importance of the right to health as well as the
best solutions for it to be a social and permanent assurance.
