Article Synopsis
- The study examines how COVID-19 affected Brazil's public health funding by analyzing historical spending data from the National Health Fund (FNS) between 2015 and 2021.
- *Using a seasonal ARIMAX model, it finds that while there was an increasing trend in health expenditure, this trend was already in place before the pandemic.
- *The increase in confirmed COVID-19 cases resulted in a modest rise in FNS spending after a month, but it also caused a slight decrease in spending growth two months later, indicating only a temporary impact.*
