Brazil is a country with climate conditions that range from tropical rain forest to temperate savanna regions in the southern part of the country. When one travels from north to south and west to east, and from sea level to altitudes of 1,300 meters, it is possible to examine the results of a stochastic process and a range of global warming experiences. Therefore looking at the relationship between health and climate in Brazil could help to explain the impact of climate change on the health of the population. The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between health and climate after taking into account the interaction between man and nature represented by the level of economic development and the effects of policies to create a more (or less) adequate life environment.

Research Network Working Paper, 436. Social exclusion and the two-tiered healthcare system of Brazil / Denisard Alves 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 436 Título : Social exclusion and the two-tiered healthcare system of Brazil Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Denisard Alves ; Christopher Timmins Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 36 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ATENCION MEDICA BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO BRASIL EXCLUSION SOCIAL SERVICIOS DE SALUD Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: In Brazil, there exists a two-tiered system of healthcare access. Those with sufficient means have access to a private system of healthcare that provides quality treatment on demand, while the remainder of the country relies on an overburdened system of public clinics and hospitals. Household survey data are used to determine which socio-demographic groups rely most on this public healthcare system. Current demographic trends suggest that the public healthcare infrastructure will become more and more heavily used in the coming decades. A stylized model of healthcare choice is estimated, and its parameters are used to conduct counterfactual simulations of the welfare implications of this increased congestion, and of policies to offset it, like private healthcare subsidies.

Research Network Working Paper, 493. Child heald and infant mortality in Brazil / Denisard Alves 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 493 Título : Child heald and infant mortality in Brazil Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Denisard Alves ; Walter Belluzo Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2005 Número de páginas: 29 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO BRASIL HIGIENE MORTALIDAD SALUD INFANTIL Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: Child health is a central issue on the public policy agenda of developing countries. Several policies geared to improving child health have been implemented over the years, with varying degrees of success. In Brazil, such policies have led to a significant decline in infant mortality rates over the last 30 years. Despite this improvement, however, mortality rates are still high by international standards and there is substantial variation across Brazilian municipalities, which suggests that differentiated policies should be devised. The aim of this paper is to investigate the determinants of infant mortality at the municipal level, and to provide a more detailed analysis by considering the factors that affect child health at the individual level. To analyze the mortality rate, static and dynamic panel data models are estimated using four censuses covering the period 1970-2000. The demand for child health is addressed through a household decision model, estimated using anthropometric data from the 1996 Standard of Living Survey. The results indicate that sanitation, education and per capita income contributed to the decline in infant mortality in Brazil, the effects being stronger in the long run than in the short run. The fixed effects associated with municipality characteristics help explain the observed dispersion in child mortality rates. The results of the decision model are in line with the mortality model findings: education, sanitation and poverty are the most important explanatory factors of poor child health in Brazil.
