A contribuição da logística para o fortalecimento da produção nacional e para o acesso universal no âmbito do SUS / The contribution of logistics to the strengthening of national production and universal access in the scope of the Unified Health System
ABSTRACT The objective was to point out the essential elements of logistics that contribute to the promotion of access in the context of the healthproduction system to articulate national production, reduce external dependence to enable universal access and the strengthening of the Unified Health System (SUS) in the context of the pandemic and health crisis. Qualitative bibliographic-based research was used as a methodological strategy on the concepts of health system, public health, access to medicines, added to the profile of national logisticsoperators and the operationalization of the Ministry of Health's national immunization plan against COVID-19. It was concluded that logisticsplays a fundamental role in promoting access to health technologies and it is necessary to undertake research efforts that include the actors of the productive sector capable of contributing to the elaboration of public policies in the field of health. The central elements of logistics need to be highlighted in order to strengthen an agenda that articulates the Health Economic-Industrial Complex with universal access, considering logistical factors as critical elements without which access does not materialize. Logistical systems should be thought of as a resource of universal health systems to enable their integrality and sustainability.
