Responsabilidade solidária dos entes federados na prestação do direito à saúde: uma análise à luz da decisão do STF no Tema 793

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the joint responsibility of federated entities in guaranteeing the right to health, based on theme 793 of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (STF), which deals with the provision of high-cost medicines by the Unified Health System (SUS). Methodological procedures such as bibliographic and documentary research, jurisprudential analysis, and case study were used. The study showed that the joint responsibility of federated entities is an important tool for the realization of the right to health, as it guarantees cooperation between the entities to ensure the provision of health services to the population. In addition, the study also demonstrated the importance of greater articulation among the various actors involved in the health system, as well as the need for investment in the training and education of professionals involved in the provision of health services. It is concluded that the joint responsibility of federated entities is an essential tool for guaranteeing the right to health, but there are still challenges to be faced for its implementation, such as the lack of financial resources and excessive bureaucracy. Therefore, further research in the area and the implementation of public policies aimed at improving the health system in Brazil are recommended.
