abstract: 'Introduction: Brazil and Colombia have pursued extensive reforms of
|
||||
|
||||
their health care systems in the last couple of decades. The purported
|
||||
|
||||
goals of such reforms were to improve access, increase efficiency and
|
||||
|
||||
reduce health inequities. Notwithstanding their common goals, each
|
||||
|
||||
country sought a very different pathway to achieve them. While Brazil
|
||||
|
||||
attempted to reestablish a greater level of State control through a
|
||||
|
||||
public national health system, Colombia embraced market competition
|
||||
|
||||
under an employer-based social insurance scheme. This work thus aims to
|
||||
|
||||
shed some light onto why they pursued divergent strategies and what that
|
||||
|
||||
has meant in terms of health outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
Methods: A critical review of the literature concerning equity
|
||||
|
||||
frameworks, as well as the health care reforms in Brazil and Colombia
|
||||
|
||||
was conducted. Then, the shortfall inequality values of crude mortality
|
||||
|
||||
rate, infant mortality rate, under-five mortality rate, and life
|
||||
|
||||
expectancy for the period 1960-2005 were calculated for both countries.
|
||||
|
||||
Subsequently, bivariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were
|
||||
|
||||
performed and controlled for possibly confounding factors.
|
||||
|
||||
Results: When controlling for the underlying historical time trend, both
|
||||
|
||||
countries appear to have experienced a deceleration of the pace of
|
||||
|
||||
improvements in the years following the reforms, for all the variables
|
||||
|
||||
analyzed. In the case of Colombia, some of the previous gains in
|
||||
|
||||
under-five mortality rate and crude mortality rate were, in fact,
|
||||
|
||||
reversed.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions: Neither reform seems to have had a decisive positive impact
|
||||
|
||||
on the health outcomes analyzed for the defined time period of this
|
||||
|
||||
research. This, in turn, may be a consequence of both internal
|
||||
|
||||
characteristics of the respective reforms and external factors beyond
|
||||
|
||||
the direct control of health reformers. Among the internal
|
||||
|
||||
characteristics: underfunding, unbridled decentralization and
|
||||
|
||||
inequitable access to care seem to have been the main constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
Conversely, international economic adversities, high levels of rural and
|
||||
|
||||
urban violence, along with entrenched income inequalities seem to have
|
||||
|
||||
accounted for the highest burden among external factors.'
