Abstract
The Brazilian unified health care system (named Sistema Único de Saúde [SUS]) was established in 1988 in the Federal Constitution and determined that “health is a right of every citizen and a duty of the State” (Malik 1997). This complex social program was created based on the tripod of universal access to health care services, equality of access to health care, and comprehensiveness, meaning an integral continuity of health assistance (Tanaka et al. 2012; de Sousa and Mendonca 2014; Pontes et al. 2014).
