dc.description.abstractNational health agencies in Brazil have been the subject of many judicial disputes. The private supplementary health sector has been evaluated by consumers as the worst sector for 11 consecutive years; dissatisfaction of consumers of private insurance and health care plans have been the main cause of health litigation. This paper introduces the two national health regulatory agencies and the legal framework that has informed and guided the litigation of health rights in courts. Additionally the paper discusses how regulatory issues are being litigated in courts, showing litigation has often improved the provision of health care services, serving public interest.en
