Investimento em Saúde através do Programa Requalifica UBS no Estado do Rio de Janeiro: um estudo amparado na ciência de dados

Abstract

The dissertation aims to analyze the scenario of public investments in health infrastructure in the state of Rio de Janeiro, specifically within the scope of the Requalifica UBS Program. The study uses innovative methods based on data science and robotic automation to collect, transform, present and analyze open data from the Ministry of Health's Works Monitoring System (SISMOB), providing an effective approach to understanding program execution. It also points out opportunities for improvement in work processes in the fields of Public Health Management and Research. The study reveals that, from October 2009 to September 2023, the Requalifica UBS Program covered all 92 municipalities in the state, recording a total of 1,564 works including construction, renovations and expansions. The investment made through the program reached R$464.75 million, of which the Executive Branch allocated R$209.09 million (44.99%) and the Parliamentary Amendments contributed R$255.66 million (55.01%), highlighting the influence of socioeconomic and political fluctuation in the allocation of resources for health. The study also highlights relevant analyzes regarding the type and the progress of registered works. It concludes that, given the opportunities for improvement demonstrated, the challenges identified and the proposed recommendations implemented, the program has the potential to promote more effective and comprehensive primary care in the state, improving the population's access to quality services in a well-structured Healthcare Network.
