Case Study
Case Study:
Statins for patients with high risk of
cardiovascular disease
Scenario
“In Brazil, the expense of the public sector with statins in
the last 12 months was approximately R$ 92 million, and
of this amount, 96% spending represented only with
atorvastatin.
Regarding
the
quantity
purchased,
atorvastatin also has higher percentage (approximately
52%), followed by simvastatin (46%), which consumed
only 3% of public expenditures with this class of drugs.”

Case Study:
Drug Access to Rare Diseases
Drug Access to Rare Diseases
The fact that Brazil does not have an official policy
specifically for rare diseases does not mean,
however, that patients do not receive care and
treatment. They eventually secure medication,
mostly through the courts. And the SUS, one way
or another, meets the needs of these people - but
in a piecemeal fashion, without planning, with
great waste of public resources.
Drug Access to Rare Diseases
Through these protocols – the official entryway to
care for rare diseases in the public system – 45
drugs and surgical and clinical treatments were
offered, 70,000 office visits and more than 560
laboratory procedures for treatment and diagnosis
were carried out, with investment of more than
than R$ 4 million per year.

2009 with treatment protocol granted*
