Abstract
The research focuses on the analysis of the right to health in the light of
Brazilian neoliberal public policies, in the time frame of 2016 to 2020. This theme has high
relevance in the country's conjuncture because the right to health is a fundamental right of the
democratic order and must be preserved. The methodology applied for development includes
bibliographic review and documentary analysis, mainly from the collection of data on the
Unified Health System (SUS) made available by secondary sources. The general objective of
this research was to discuss the extent to which neoliberal policies advanced on the SUS
between 2016 and 2020. For this, the specific objectives sought to describe the legal
protection to public health in Brazil from 1988, to identify the neoliberal public policies
applied in the health context between 2016-2020 and to reflect on its effects for the
strengthening or weakening of the public and private health sectors in Brazil in the period.
The results showed that the effects of constitutional amendment 95 in the face of public
investments in health corroborated the weakening of the public sector and the strengthening of
the private sector, since there were significant reductions in investments applied between 2016 and 2020. Thus, the study concluded that these effects are in line with social setbacks,
since the 1988 Constitution states that public policies are necessary mechanisms for the
achievement of social justice, through the materialization of access to fundamental rights and
guarantees, such as the right to public health.
