ANÁLISE DOS ASSUNTOS PROCESSUAIS DO DIREITO À SAÚDE NO ESTADO DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL ENTRE OS ANOS DE 2020 E 2024.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the main subjects of health-related lawsuits registered in Mato Grosso do Sul. Method: A quantitative, descriptive study using secondary data on the subjects of lawsuits judged in the TJMS (Court of Justice of Mato Grosso do Sul) between 2020 and 2024, from the Procedural Statistics Panel on the Right to Health of the National Council of Justice. Absolute and relative frequencies of the most frequently registered subjects and their distribution throughout the period were analyzed. Results: 20,882 lawsuits were registered. The most frequent subjects were "Standardized" (n=3,903; 16.7%), "Medical-hospital treatment" (n=3,174; 15.2%), "Emergency" (n=2,216; 10.6%), "Non-standardized" (n=2,042; 9.8%), and "Provision of medication" (n=1,618; 7.8%). An increase was observed, except for "Supply of medicines," which decreased. The "Non-standardized" subject had more cases judged in the second instance; while the "Standardized" cases had a higher frequency than the others in Special Courts. Conclusion: judicialization occurs due to demands that the health system should provide and due to non-standardized demands with greater complexity. DESCRIPTORS: Judicialization of healthcare; Effective access to healthcare services; Right to health; Covid-19.
