Judicializa��o em alta eleva custos na sa�de

The surge in health-related legal cases in Brazil is putting a significant strain on the healthcare system. In 2025 alone, the Superior Tribunal de Justiça saw a jump to 19.4 thousand new cases, up from 13.8 thousand in 2021, according to the National Justice Council. This escalating trend is driving up costs and diverting resources from patient care, raising concerns about the sustainability of Brazil’s healthcare services. The issue underscores the need for a balanced approach to ensure that legal recourse doesn’t undermine the efficiency and accessibility of public health services.
