          Abstract

          No presente artigo discute-se o alinhamento das políticas do governo brasileiro, a política acordada com as agências multilaterais de financiamento - Banco Mundial e Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento - BID, a partir da análise do pagamento da dívida externa dos empréstimos contraídos pelo Governo Federal para o setor saúde, dentro do orçamento do Ministério da Saúde. O estudo está circunscrito ao período de 1995 a 2004 e foi desenvolvido por meio de um estudo exploratório, utilizando os recursos da pesquisa documental. Descrevem-se os gastos em saúde do Ministério da Saúde no período de 1995 a 2004, apontando para a instabilidade e a dificuldade de evolução do orçamento, os gastos em saúde em países selecionados, e o comportamento do pagamento da dívida externa total do Governo Federal, da saúde e dos projetos do Banco Mundial e do BID. Por fim, conclui-se que o percentual de recursos públicos gastos em saúde no Brasil é baixo, quando comparado com os gastos públicos do grupo de países de renda alta. Conclui-se, ainda, que a política econômica dos governos FHC e Lula seguiu as orientações de política econômica indicadas pelas agências de crédito - entre elas o compromisso com o pagamento da dívida -consubstanciadas nos documentos dos acordos de empréstimos condicionados, e quando verificado o comportamento dos pagamentos da dívida externa dos empréstimos contraídos pelo Governo Federal para investimentos no setor saúde.

          Translated abstract

          The present study discusses the relationship, the alignment and the connection of the Brazilian government's health policies with the policy of the agreements with the multilateral financing agencies - World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) -, based on the analysis of the foreign debt payment of the loans contracted by the federal government for the health sector, which were included in the budget of the Ministry of Health. This study refers to the period from 1995 to 2004 and was developed through an exploratory study, using mainly documental research. The health expenditures of the Ministry of Health in the period from 1995 to 2004 are described, bringing into focus the instability and the difficulties in budget evolution, the health expenditures in certain selected countries, and the federal government's payment behavior regarding the total foreign debt, the health sector debts and the World Bank and IDB projects debts. Finally, we come to the conclusion that the percentage of public expenditures in the health sector in Brazil is low, when compared to public health expenditures in a group of countries of high income. We also conclude that the policies of the governments of FHC and Lula for the health sector followed the suitable orientations for economic policy given by multilateral financing agencies - including the promise of debt payment -, materialized in the documents of conditioned loans agreements, when the behavior of foreign debt payment of the contracted loans by the federal government for investments in the health sector was observed.
