TL;DR: The expansion of the SUS has allowed Brazil to rapidly address the changing health needs of the population, with dramatic upscaling of health service coverage in just three decades, but analysis of future scenarios suggests the urgent need to address lingering geographical inequalities, insufficient funding, and suboptimal private sector-public sector collaboration.

TL;DR: The challenge of health services fragmentation is analyzed; the attributes of integrated health service delivery networks (IHSDNs) are presented; lessons learned on integration are reviewed; recent developments in selected countries are examined; and policy implications are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative study was conducted to formulate strategic recommendations to strengthen primary health care (PHC) in Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS) based on expert consultation.

TL;DR: Reductions in primary healthcare coverage due to austerity measures are likely to be responsible for many avoidable deaths and may preclude achievement of SDGs for health and inequality in Brazil and in other low- and middle-income countries.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors describe the impact of the pandemic on non-COVID health services delivery while considering the regional inequalities of the allocation of financing health system, health infrastructure and health workforce.
