A judicialização do acesso a medicamentos: a perspectiva da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do Rio de Janeiro

Embora o direito à saúde esteja contemplado na Constituição de 1988, especialmente no artigo 196, carências de natureza gerencial, administrativa e orçamentária entre outras, restringem a capacidade operativa dos órgãos e entidades responsáveis pela sua efetivação desencadeando um fenômeno denominado judicialização do direito à saúde. Este fenômeno é observado quando os indivíduos adotam a iniciativa de recorrer ao Poder Judiciário para garantirem o direito de acesso aos meios e recursos necessários a melhoria de suas condições clínicas. Como o atendimento a saúde deve ser integral, contemplando todas as necessidades do indivíduo, o fenômeno também é observado quando o paciente recorre à justiça para garantir o direito de acesso a medicamentos que deveriam ser fornecidos gratuitamente pelo poder público. A presente dissertação procura abordar a questão do acesso aos medicamentos no Brasil intermediado pela atuação da justiça, sob a perspectiva da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do Rio de Janeiro (SMS/RJ). Assim serão esquadrinhadas as principais dificuldades enfrentadas pela respectiva secretaria ante a atribuição de cumprir determinações emanadas do Poder Judiciário em atendimento ao que foi demandado pela sociedade.

Forecasting Brazilian inflation by its aggregate and disaggregated data: a test of predictive power by forecast horizon

This work aims to compare the forecast efficiency of different types of methodologies applied to Brazilian Consumer inflation (IPCA). We will compare forecasting models using disaggregated and aggregated data over twelve months ahead. The disaggregated models were estimated by SARIMA and will have different levels of disaggregation. Aggregated models will be estimated by time series techniques such as SARIMA, state-space structural models and Markov-switching. The forecasting accuracy comparison will be made by the selection model procedure known as Model Confidence Set and by Diebold-Mariano procedure. We were able to find evidence of forecast accuracy gains in models using more disaggregated data
