| Resumo: | The Phytotherapy Programs increased considerably in Brazil after the National Policy on Medicinal Plants and Phytotherapics was instituted. The research aimed to make an analysis of the Phytotherapy Public Services in the country, its current condition, its trajectory, its financing and to raise the main difficulties encountered for the implantation and continuity of these services in the Unified Health System (SUS), as well as necessary adjustments in the sanitary legislation. The work consisted of bibliographic research and documentary analysis, search on institutional websites in addition to collected data by those responsible for the Phytotherapy Programs or Pharmacies Live. It was found that the Phytotherapy Programs are more concentrated in the South, Southeast and Northeast regions of Brazil and that several are still in the process of being structured or implantated. The implantation of the Live Pharmacies requires coordination and commitment from managers and health professionals in its continuity, and because of this, these services are often suspended, or temporarily stopped. The reformulation of RDC nº 18/2013 is an important step to supply existing gaps, allowing the insertion of simpler herbal medicine service modalities, enabling the continuity of existing Live Pharmacies as well as the implantation of new services. |
