ABSTRACT Objective: this study's aim was to characterize the demand of patients and the type of care provided in 2013, in emergency services, in the city of Florianópolis, SC, Brazil Method: this is a descriptive and analytical study with a quantitative approach. Secondary data were collected from general and managerial reports provided by the information system used by the city's department of health. Results: patients seek the emergency services nearest to their homes for situations not characterized as emergencies and that could be taken care of by primary health care units Conclusion: most patients originate from the same health district in which the emergency service is located and their reasons for seeking care could not be characterized as urgent or emergency situations. There is a need to qualify primary health care as the coordinator of care and instruct the population regarding the role of each service in the network

User Fee

The concept of ascribing user fee in health care settings always remained a policy struggle and countries experienced different learning in this regards while implementing user fee at different tiers of health settings. The most exquisite learning among the many country specific evidences related to user fee are the match and mismatch between the equity principle and benefit principle while considering the client perspective. There is an added dimension of quality care which also add more complex dynamics into this concept since the quality care consideration has a double edged perspective both for clients and providers, where which one will get superiority over whom is a great question in health care, especially in the Primary Health care (PHC) of the country. In this reality the appropriate implementation guideline, followed by an appropriate practice of the administrative and management both service oriented and financial are of great importance in this user fee implementation consideration which always remained a challenge in the health care specially in remote care of PHC. This paper attempted a secondary data searching and scoping the available documents of Bangladesh and across the world to find an alternative approach to user fees policy where equity and benefit principle and quality - these three have to be placed in a well-constructed triad in PHC implementation which has been recommended as an alternative policy imperative in approaching user fees for Bangladesh PHC settings.
