This study analyzes the management of healthcare assistance programs in Brazil, focusing on operational and administrative challenges that compromise the effectiveness of population care. The choice of theme is justified by the need to understand bottlenecks that prevent equitable access to health services, especially in contexts of health emergencies and chronic diseases. The main objective is to examine factors influencing the efficiency of pharmaceutical assistance programs and the economic impact of public health interventions. The methodology adopts an exploratory bibliographic approach, analyzing studies published between 2020 and 2025, prioritizing research addressing public policy evaluation, treatment costs, and access to medicines. Results show that service fragmentation, insufficient resources, and absence of standardized protocols compromise care continuity. It is concluded that reorganization of care flows and strengthening of primary care represent fundamental strategies to expand coverage and reduce inequities in the Brazilian health system.
