Objetivo: Analisar o acesso universal à saúde a partir das representações sociais dos usuários acerca do Sistema Único de Saúde, no município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Método: Estudo com abordagem quanti-qualitativa, pautado na Teoria das Representações Sociais, em sua abordagem processual. A coleta de dados foi realizada em 2010, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados com auxílio do software Alceste 4.7. Resultados: Participaram 104 usuários do sistema de saúde, sendo a maioria mulheres, renda de até um salário mínimo e residentes no município do Rio de Janeiro. Foram evidenciados na análise lexical, dois conjuntos textuais: “O processo de avaliação do sistema de saúde: a experiência dos usuários” e “O sistema de Saúde: estrutura e finalidade”. Conclusão:Os usuários dos serviços de saúde vêm acumulando a experiência de um sistema em permanente construção que carece, em algumas situações, de insumos e ações essenciais, rotineiras e básicas, mas que efetiva a universalidade perpassando classes sociais e distintos níveis de complexidades de assistência.

Abstract In this article the authors assess the current level of water security of the population of the Rio de Janeiro metropolis supplied by the Guandu System. It sets out from the premise that water security is only achieved when universal access to water is ensured - that is, when water resources are available, in adequate quantity and quality, along with water services that guarantee the human right to safe drinking water. Based on previous research, a review of the literature and official documents, it was possible to adapt and apply an analytic schema to the case study in order to evaluate the level of water security. The authors conclude that there are many risks associated with the water resources, including climate stressors, but it is the performance of the water supply service that most jeopardizes the current water security of the population of the Rio de Janeiro metropolis; the availability of water resources, both current and future, is not an obstacle to universal access to water.

Cost Outcomes

Background The aim of this study is to estimate the reduction in new HIV infections and resultant cost outcomes of providing antiretroviral treatment (ART) through Australia’s ‘universal access’ health scheme to all temporary residents with HIV infection living legally in Australia, but currently deemed ineligible to access subsidised ART via this scheme. Methods: A mathematical model to estimate the number of new HIV infections averted and the associated lifetime costs over 5 years if all HIV-positive temporary residents in Australia had access to ART and subsidised medical care was developed. Input data came from a cohort of 180 HIV-positive temporary residents living in Australia who are receiving free ART donated by pharmaceutical companies for up to 4 years. Results: Expanding ART access to an estimated total 450 HIV+ temporary residents in Australia for 5 years could avert 80 new infections. The model estimated the total median discounted (5%) cost for ART and associated care to be A$36 million, while the total savings in lifetime-discounted costs for the new infections averted was A$22 million. Conclusions: It is estimated that expanded access to ART for all HIV-positive temporary residents in Australia will substantially reduce HIV transmission to their sexual partners at little additional cost. In the context of Australia’s National HIV strategy and Australia’s endorsement of global goals to provide universal access to ART for all people with HIV, this is an important measure to remove inequities in the provision of HIV-related treatment and care.
