Abstract

The National Health System, being named unique in the Constitution because it refers to a set of elements, such as universalization, equity, integrality, decentralization and  popular participation  and which is in convergence with the  Constitution of 1988  of the Federative Republic of Brazil,  which  states that health is a right of all and a duty of the State.Thus, with the creation of SUS, the entire Brazilian population now has the right to universal and free health care , financed with resources from the budgets of the Union, the States, the Federal District and the Municipalities, as regulated by article 195 of the Brazilian Constitution. It is noteworthy that SUS is one of the most powerful and important in the world and  it serves about 220 million people. It   is characterized by a foundation of three pillars: universality, integrality and equity.
