Judicialização da saúde: o papel dos núcleos de assessoramento técnico

Abstract

With the exponential growth of the judicialization of health in Brazil, much has been discussed about the phenomenon, its consequences, causes and possible alternatives for coping. In this context, questions of competence, legitimacy, collision of principles, responsibility, etc. are analyzed. The State has been striving to deal with this reality, which is relatively new, and for this reason, it has idealized the Technical Advisory Centers, whose main function is to assist magistrates in health demands, offering technical advice that will guarantee a technically safer decision. These centers are already in operation throughout the country and have gained increasing importance in the judicial sphere.
