Abstract

The application of public resources is a constant concern for society and will always be questioned every public management in exercise. Public Health is one of the areas of application of public resources that generate the most questions due to the reality of the lack of access to health by the most vulnerable part of the population, as well as the lack of structure and human resources to care for thousands of people, already that the conception of health involves several sectors. This course completion work aims to understand how the public resources are applied in the programs of the Ministry of Health that involve basic care. Thus, it is intended to present how the revenues are allocated in the area of Primary Care and its financial operationalization in the Unified Health System. For this purpose, the city of Lavras - MG was defined as a field study. All data were taken from the Public Health Budget Information System (SIOPS) and the Annual Management Report (RAG). From the data extracted from both systems, it was systematized through tables, graphs and flowcharts all the information to analyze where the resources are applied and what impacts on the municipality. After systematizing the data, it was possible to perceive that the municipal entity has greater participation in the management of health policies formulated by the federative body. And when the municipality invests less in the area of basic care automatically restrains itself in greater spending in the area of medium and high complexity.
