Desenvolvimento e o complexo econômico-industrial da saúde: estudo de caso da política pública das parcerias para o desenvolvimento produtivo

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the relationship between public policies aimed at the production and distribution of pharmochemicals by the SUS and their relationship with the Economic-Industrial Health Complex (CEIS). The relevance of this research is justified by the proposal to invert the trivial paradigm that sees health as a liability of the State, in order to proceed with an innovative vision of expanding the health industrial park in Brazil. Methodologically, the case study technique will be used, specifically investigating the Partnerships for Productive Development (PDPs). What we intend to discover with this research is to what extent it can be said that the PDPs were a satisfactorily economic public policy. Therefore, we used as theoretical framework the entire work of professor Washington Peluso Albino de Souza, especially with regard to development, as well as Carlos Augusto Grabois Gadelha, with regard to CEIS. Thus, it is understood that public policies can flow simultaneously between social and economic nature, providing, at the same time, pharmochemicals to users and heating the economy through the CEIS.
