Abstract

Objective: To analyze the history of public funding of health actions and services in four
bordering municipalities of Paraná/Brazil, from 2000 to 2016.
Method: Quantitative study that uses data from the Information System on Public Health
Budgets (SIOPS), analyzed through simple descriptive statistics.
Results: The results show the growth of absolute and relative values applied in healthcare
actions and services over the study period; greater participation of the municipalities in the
funding, and a bit of recognition of the issues related to the border region by the federal and
state governments, through the implementation of specific programs.
Conclusion: The problem of health funding in border municipalities was not solved after the
enactment of Constitutional Amendment No. 29, in 2000, due to the chronic underfunding
of the system and the discontinuation of specific programs. The results contribute to a better
understanding of the right to health of border residents.
