Abstract
Based on an analysis of individual claims for
provision of medicines brought by users of the
Unified National Health System (SUS) against
the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the year
2005, this study aims to discuss the action and
behavior of the court system in ruling on these
suits. The study adopted a semi-qualitative exploratory
documental research design, analyzing
key aspects related to the claims, such as type
of medication claimed by the plaintiff, wording
of the court rulings, and the key elements used
by judges in trying the cases. According to the
analysis of the lawsuits and the concepts of judicialization
and official standardization of
medicines, the study concludes that when ruling
on the provision of medicines, the court system
grants the claims as submitted without considering
the standardization of medicines adopted by
the Ministry of Health, thus exercising excessive
court intervention in health policy.
