Abstract
In various countries it has been reported that patients who receive hospital care, for example assisted birth, are detained inside the health facility until they pay their bills. The practice of hospital detention, whose magnitude is unknown, has been criticized as anti-humanitarian by UNICEF and human rights organizations. However, according to the author, leaving the hospital with a confirmed diagnosis and the recommended treatment can prove more difficult than simply being detained, particularly when health budgets are allocated with disregard for the social conditions in which people live, as in Latin America and elsewhere.Segundo relatos, em vários países os pacientes que recebem tratamento hospitalar, inclusive durante o parto, podem ficar detidos dentro do hospital até saldarem suas contas. A UNICEF e diversas organizações de direitos humanos já denunciaram como anti-humana a prática da detenção hospitalar, cuja magnitude é desconhecida. Entretanto, de acordo com o autora, receber alta com um diagnóstico confirmado e a garantia do tratamento indicado pode ser mais difícil do que a simples detenção, particularmente quando os orçamentos da saúde são alocados sem levar em conta as reais condições da população, como ocorre na América Latina e em outras regiões do mundo.
