Health Satellite Account - Brazil - 2007-2009
Satellite accounts are an extension of the System of National Accounts. They allow the analysis of the profile and evolution of the sector comparing with the whole economy, measured by the National Accounts.
The release of the publication Health Satellite Account Brazil – the result of a partnership of IBGE with the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ), the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA), the National Agency of Supplementary Health (ANS) and the Ministry of Health – shows systematized data about the production and dynamics of this sector, providing an overview of the resources and uses of health in Brazil.
This edition, widely illustrated with tables and graphs, encompasses the period 2007-2009 and shows, for each economic activity treated, information on gross value of production of the health goods and services, inputs consumed in productive processes, gross value added, final consumption of health goods and services, investments, salaries and job positions, among other aspects. The publication includes technical notes about the methodological nature of the study, like the scope of the sector in this publication, as well as a glossary describing the relevant concepts. In addition to this information, appendices detail the structure of the Tables of Resources and Uses and the Integrated Economic Accounts of health activities. The enclosed CD-ROM reproduces the printed version.
The information presented herein makes it possible to know the profile of the health activities in Brazil along the years, thus contributing to the valuation of this important economic sector.
