An anthropological study of how adult patients and parents mobilize to access treatment for themselves and their children suffering from conditions that demand high-cost medicines

1. Brazil is one of at least 115 countries that recognize a constitutional right to health and is also one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical markets in the world. In the wake of the country’s successful AIDS treatment rollout, the rights-based demand for drug access has “migrated” to other diseases and groups. Across Brazil, patients are turning en masse to courts to access both essential medicines and new treatments. Faced with no availability or high cost, many individuals are suing the government to obtain drugs. Decisions and directives over treatment access—once the sole domain of the executive and legislative branch—are now routinely advanced by judges. The judicialization of the right to health presents a complex set of issues and has ignited debates among elected officials, public servants, patients, activist groups, and medical professionals about what the right to health means and implies. As it opens up entirely new avenues for citizens to gain access to health resources, judicialization is also potentially reshaping broader institutions of public health and ideas and practices of citizenship.
Initial research has found that 6 800 medical-judicial claims reached the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Rio Grande do Sul in 2006, an increase from 1126 in 2002. By 2008, an average of 1 200 new cases were reaching the Office per month. That year, US$30.2 million was spent by this state of 11 million people on court-attained drugs for about 19 000 patients. This expense represents 22% of the total amount spent on pharmaceutical drugs that year and 4% of the state’s annual projected health budget. About a third of current claims are for high-cost drugs not provided through the public health-care system. While a minority, these claims surely account for a large proportion of state expenses. Initial research also found that patients and their families encounter a bewildering and overburdened legal system where injunctions granting access to lifesaving medicines must be periodically renewed, often resulting in interrupted treatment and medical complications.

Um estudo antropológico de como pacientes adultos e seus pais se mobilizam para ter acesso a tratamento para si e seus filhos que sofrem de doenças que requerem medicamentos de alto custo

1. O Brasil é um entre pelo menos 115 países que reconhecem o direito constitucional à saúde e é, também, um dos mercados farmacêuticos que mais crescem no mundo. Seguindo a bem-sucedida introdução do tratamento da AIDS no país, a demanda baseada em direitos pelo acesso ao medicamento tem “migrado” para outras doenças e grupos. Em todo o Brasil, pacientes estão recorrendo em massa aos tribunais para obter acesso tanto a medicamentos essenciais quanto a novos tratamentos. Devido à falta de disponibilidade ou ao alto custo, muitos indivíduos estão processando o governo para obter tais medicamentos. As decisões e as diretivas quanto ao acesso ao tratamento — no passado unicamente de domínio dos ramos executivo e legislativo — são agora rotineiramente passados aos juízes. A judicialização do direito à saúde apresenta um conjunto complexo de questões e tem conduzido a debates entre autorizados eleitos, servidores públicos, pacientes, grupos de ativistas e profissionais médicos em relação ao que significa e implica o direito à saúde. Ao abrir caminhos inteiramente novos para que os cidadãos obtenham acesso aos recursos de saúde, a judicialização também está potencialmente dando nova forma a instituições de saúde pública e idéias e práticas de cidadania mais amplas.
Uma pesquisa inicial descobriu que 6.800 ações médico-judiciais deram entrada no Escritório do Procurador Geral do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul em 2006, um aumento de 1.126 em 2002. Até 2008, uma média de 1.200 novos casos estavam chegando ao Escritório por mês. Naquele ano, US$30,2 milhões foram gastos por este Estado de 11 milhões de pessoas em medicamentos conseguidos pelo tribunal para cerca de 19.000 pacientes. Esse gasto representa 22% da quantia total gasta em medicamentos farmacêuticos daquele ano e 4% do orçamento anual projetado para a saúde no Estado. Cerca de um terço das ações judiciais atuais são para medicamentos de alto custo não fornecidos através do sistema de saúde pública. Embora sejam uma minoria, essas ações judiciais certamente representam uma grande proporção de gastos estaduais. Uma pesquisa inicial também descobriu que os pacientes e suas famílias encontram um sistema jurídico confuso e sobrecarregado, onde injunções concedendo acesso a medicamentos que salvam vidas devem ser periodicamente renovados, resultando frequentemente em tratamentos interrompidos e em complicações médicas.
