- Abstract
Objective: to describe public spending on hospitalizations for the treatment of Covid-19 in Maranhão. Methods: descriptive study, referring to the months of March and December 2020, with data from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System (SIH-SUS). Results: In the period, there were 19,150 hospital admissions, 4.9% for the treatment of users with coronavirus. The total expenditure was over 55 million reais, 83% of which were allocated to hospital services and 15% to professional services. Expenses for the treatment of covid-19 were distributed differently among the regions of the state. The São Luís region had the highest number of hospitalizations, the highest total amount spent, the highest average length of stay in days and the highest fatality rate. Conclusion: Disparities in hospitalization expenses were ratified between the regions of Maranhão, highlighting the vulnerability and need for strategies to reduce differences in access, use and distribution of SUS resources.
