A (des)judicialização da saúde pública no Rio Grande do Norte e a atuação da defensoria pública estadual - uma breve análise do sus mediado

Abstract

It is based on the performance of the Public Defender of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (DPE/RN) as institutional guarantor of the right to individual and collective health that this work is developed. There is a growing phenomenon of the Judicialization of Health, that is, the ever-increasing search for the realization of this right through legal bias, based on propositions of judicial demands and in opposition to incentive strategies to avoid the judiciary. At the same time, expose mediation as a viable instrument in achieving non-judicial access to health by citizens, despite still being little used, highlighting the SUS Mediated program – from DPE/RN. For this, bibliographical references were raised on the subject of judicialization of health, as well as a quantitative-descriptive field research was carried out in Vara Unica de Touros, in order to assess the real impact of this judicialization in the interior of the State of Rio Grande do Norte
