O estudo que se apresenta tem como objeto a Política de Transplante do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e as suas particularidades, visando captar as transformações que este vem sofrendo, especialmente na atualidade, quando se observa importantes transformações na Política de Saúde Brasileira e Estadual. As disputas entre os diferentes projetos de saúde na atualidade o Projeto Privatista e o Projeto de Reforma Sanitária - vem impactando na configuração da política pública de transplante. No caso do Rio de Janeiro, observa-se uma forte tendência de fortalecimento do Projeto Privatista com a criação do Programa Estadual de Transplantes. Repasse maior de recursos financeiros públicos em unidades privadas, a ampliação da oferta de transplantes através de parcerias privadas e a contratação de funcionários por contratos e outros vínculos que não garantem os direitos dos trabalhadores são as principais estratégias que foram adotadas pelo Estado do Rio. Identificar essas estratégias de privatização se torna essencial para a construção de respostas democráticas para combatê-las e fortalecer o SUS. / The study that is presented focuses the policy of the State of Transplantation Rio de Janeiro and its special features , aiming to capture the transformations that this is suffering , especially today , when we observe significant changes in the Brazilian and State Health Policy . Disputes between different health projects today - the privatizing Project and Project Health Reform - has impacted the setting of public policy transplantation. In the case of Rio de Janeiro, there is a strong trend towards the strengthening of the privatized project with the creation of the State Program of Transplantation. Greater transfer of public funds into private units , expanding the supply of transplants through private partnerships and hiring employees for contracts and other links that do not ensure workers' rights are the main strategies that have been adopted by the State of Rio identify these privatization strategies becomes essential for building democratic responses to combat them and strengthen the SUS

Magister Commercii - MCom / Three arguments are normally presented as rationale for the privatisation of state owned enterprises. The first relates to the problem of the financing of higher levels of public expenditure; the second is based on the viewpoint that private ownership is more efficient than public ownership; whilst the third claims that the losses of inefficient public enterprise are responsible for excessive budget deficits and other fiscal problems. Although empirical evidence proves that privatisation enhances economic efficiency, it negatively affects the affordability of and access to essential services, which may have serous consequences for poorer households. This happens through increased prices of essential services, such as electricity and telecommunication, as well as through loss of employment opportunities during and after privatisation. Many countries, also in Africa, implemented various types of privatisation programmes over the past two decades in order to decrease the relative size of governments and to improve efficient delivery of services. Towards the end the 1990’s and after the tragic genocide, Rwanda’s Government of National Unity also embarked on an ambitious restructuring programme of its state-owned enterprises. The main purpose of this study was to assess the likely impact of privatisation on poor households in developing countries. The report presents a general overview of the literature, with a specific focus on Brazil, Argentina and South Africa. It investigates the experiences of these countries and derives lessons that can be learnt. Finally it assesses the possible impact of the privatisation of essential service delivery on poor households in Rwanda. The main conclusion of the study is that governments should look beyond efficiency benefits of restructuring and focus on the overall opportunity cost of the privatisation of essential service delivery. The specific method of privatisation may determine the final social impact. The case studies also highlight the need for more research into the challenges facing the privatisation of essential service delivery. It is clear that any restructuring should be preceded by a thorough analysis of the likely impact on the poorer sections of the community. / South Africa
