Trata-se de uma avaliação empírica da eficácia e efetividade da atenção básica, tendo como unidade de análise os municípios que integram o território nacional e as regiões geográficas do país. A variável dependente utilizada nesse estudo foi a taxa de mortalidade infantil; como variáveis explicativas foram utilizados os seguintes indicadores: municípios com ESF em todo período analisado, cobertura vacinai e as condições de saneamento básico. Também foram inseridas as seguintes variáveis de controle: o índice de desenvolvimento humano, o índice de Gini, a taxa de urbanização e a população. Os dados foram coletados junto ao Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD) e do Institulo Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Metodologicamente, dividiu-se os municípios brasileiros em dois grupos, o primeiro refere-se aqueles que receberam as equipes de saúde da família por todo período no Programa. No segundo grupo estão aqueles municípios que nunca haviam recebido tais equipes ou que receberam e sofreram interrupções. Nesse último grupo, verifícou-se que em média a taxa de mortalidade infantil era maior em torno de 10%. As regiões Nordeste e Sudeste estão entre as regiões que possuem o maior número de municípios que não sofreram oscilações no tempo de adesão ao programa, hoje denominada ESF; consequentemente, essas regiões apresentaram as menores taxa de mortalidade infantil (percentuais menores que a média nacional - 18,62). No modelo inferencial, verificou-se que de fato há significância estatística, apontando para uma relação de causalidade negativa entre ESF e taxa de mortalidade infantil. Sendo assim, os resultados obtidos sugerem que quanto maior o acesso a atenção básica menor a mortalidade infantil. A presente pesquisa configura-se em um dos poucos trabalhos realizados sobre a realidade dos municípios brasileiros e regiões geográficas do país que trazem de forma pioneira evidências sobre o impacto da atenção básica na taxa de mortalidade infantil. / The research was carried out to evaluate the impact of Primary Health Care Policy, in particular the Family Health Strategy, the rate of infant mortality in Brazilian municipalities. This is an empirical evaluation of the efficacy and effectiveness of primary care, with the unit of analysis, the municipalities of the country and geographical regions. The dependent variable used in this study was the infant mortality rate; municipalities with family health strategy throughout the period analyzed, vaccination coverage and sanitation conditions: as explanatory variables the following indicators were used. The following control variables were also entered: the human development index, the Gini index, the rate of urbanization and population. Data were collected from the Department of the Unified Health System, United Nations Program for Development and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Methodologically, we divided the municipalities into two groups, the first refers to those who received the family health teams throughout the program period. The second group are those municipalities that had never received such teams or have received and suffered outages. In this latter group, it was found that on average the rate of infant mortality was higher at around 10%. The Northeast and Southeast regions are among the regions with the highest number of municipalities that did not undergo oscillations in the time of joining the program, now called family health strategy; Therefore, these regions showed the lowest infant mortality rate (lower than the national average percentage - 18.62). In the inferential model, it was found that there is indeed statistically signifícant, pointing to a negative causal relationship between family health strategy and infant mortality rate. Thus, the results suggest that the greater access to primary care to lower infant mortality. This study sets up on one of the few studies about the reality of Brazilian municipalities and geographical áreas of the country that bring a pioneer in evidence on the impact of primary care on infant mortality.

La réduction de la mortalité maternelle et infantile est universellement acceptée comme un objectif du millénaire pour le développement. L'aide étrangère est un des moyens utilisés pour l'atteindre. Cependant, malgré les succès, à l'échelle microéconomique, de certains programmes de santé financés par les aides étrangères, l'efficacité globale de ces aides demeure inconnue. Plusieurs travaux ont traité de l'efficacité de l'aides sur la croissance économique, mais peu d'entre eux concernent le secteur de la santé. Le but de cette thèse, est précisément d'évaluer l'efficacité des aides étrangères sur des indicateurs de santé à l'échelle macroéconomique. On va essayer d'explorer l'impact des aides étrangères octroyées par des bailleurs privés et publics sur l'état de santé telle que la mortalité infantile, maternelle et des adultes dans les pays en développement. La thèse examine l'affectation des aides étrangères au secteur de la santé, à travers trois documents de travail à soumettre à publication. / The reduction of child and maternal mortality is universally accepted as a millennium development goal (MDG). Foreign aid for health is one of the means implemented to reach it. However, even if many successes of health aid activities have been underlined at the microeconomic level, the effectiveness of health aid in general remains unknown. In spite of many macroeconomic works on aid effectiveness on economic growth, only little deals with its effectiveness in health. The purpose of this thesis is precisely to assess the effectiveness of foreign aid in improving health measurements, at the macroeconomic level. I tried to explore the impact of health aid disbursed by the donors through the government and private sector on health outcomes like child, maternal and adult mortality rates in developing economies. The thesis examines the issue of foreign aid earmarked for health sector using a three-paper format. The three chapters of this thesis can be read independently.
