SUMMARY:

Understanding the functioning of the pharmaceutical sector includes taking into account the structures that guarantee its full functioning. In addition to the relationships between health agents, such as government and companies, the pharmaceutical sector also needs to act constantly with the introduction of products and services aimed at the health area and with the consumer market. Pharmaceuticals are characterized by a constant relationship with innovation, research and development for society. In Brazil, the pharmaceutical sector differs from other economies due to the significant purchasing power of the Brazilian State, which manages to incorporate vaccines into the National Immunization Plan (PNI). The objective of the dissertation is to elucidate how the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), through the process of ordering, technology transfer and distribution of the production of the COVID-19 vaccine, contributed to the strengthening of the Brazilian pharmaceutical sector through the partnership with the Unified Health System (SUS)of the industry with the State. For the elaboration of this dissertation, bibliographical research was used, consisting of the collection of bibliographical references about the formulation and functioning of the developed ones; relationship between research, innovation and development (R,I&D); and, subsequently, the main theories that contribute to the functioning of the pharmaceutical industry, in addition to interviews with the main actors in the vaccine production and nationalization process. In addition, presenting the Brazilian pharmaceutical sector, Fiocruz's performance in the process of immunization against COVID-19 in Brazil was observed. Finally, the strong relationship between Fiocruz's performance, through government support and the strengthening of the Brazilian industrial pharmaceutical sector, is identified.
