Haemodialysis in the financing of the High Complexity of the SUS in Brazil

The High Complexity comprises a high amount of financial resources. Renal replacement therapy represents almost half of the amounts used in the outpatient segment. It is of utmost importance to understand this segment, mainly by investigating the productive environment where it is inserted. There is the delineation of an oligopolized market, with the presence of multinationals in the supply of inputs and machinery.
