PALHARES, Dario  e  RODRIGUES DA CUNHA, Antônio Carlos. BIOETHICAL REFLEXIONS ABOUT THE BRAZILIAN COMPANY OF HOSPITAL SERVICES (EBSERH). rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp.122-129. ISSN 1657-4702.

Every human being will need health assistance at some moments throughout the life. The major bioethical conflict relies in the definition if health assistance is a right, a good or merchandise. The Brazilian State considers that Health is a right. For the execution of this right, it is necessary a great financial movement of workforce and industrial resources. SUS should try alternative modes of sponsoring and administration to reach the goals it has proposed. Up to the present moment, the financial administration of SUS has been done mostly by foundations and autarchies that receive the annual budget and end the year at zero. The structure of a company is different due to the possibility of profits, theoretically allowing to continuous re-investments related to health assistance. As an experimental practice in a complementary sector - the University Hospital - it is possible that the Company transforms paradigms in the conduction of the hospital assistance of SUS.
