Abstract

This article intends to analyze the decision-making stages of the judicialization of public health policy in Brazil by the highest legal court in the country — the Supreme Federal Court of Justice (STF). Subsequently, we present the most relevant criticisms of the excessive judicialization of health, attempting, to list alternatives in order to discuss a possible program of improvements for public health policy, having as its main element the dialogue between the Brazilian Justice and Health Systems. The methodology used can be characterized as quali-quantitative, considering that data collection was used on the STF website for research and analysis of judicial decisions, as well as a biographically doctrinaire review.
