Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/10557This article analyzes whether public health financing in the municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Belém, between 2017 and 2022, within the framework of Brazilian fiscal federalism, complied with constitutional and legal requirements and upheld the principle of human dignity. Methodologically, the study is divided into two stages: first, a literature review on fiscal federalism, human dignity, and the right to health; second, an empirical analysis of data obtained from the Public Health Budget Information System (SIOPS) and other official sources. The findings show that all municipalities in the sample met the legal minimum of allocating 15% of Net Current Revenue to health, as established by Complementary Law 141/2012. However, the results also reveal a strong financial dependence of municipalities on transfers from state and federal governments. Despite generating lower own revenues compared to the transfers received, several municipalities allocated more than 40% of their own resources to local health financing. Furthermore, all municipalities presented per capita health expenditures below the national average, although spending increased during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022). The study concludes that the financing of public health in the Metropolitan Region of Belém reflects the national pattern, in which municipalities account for more than 30% of total health expenditures. Nevertheless, the combination of high financial dependence and limited local revenue undermines the effective implementation of the fundamental right to health and the promotion of human dignity.Acesso AbertoFederalismo fiscalDignidade da pessoa humanaFinanciamento da saúde públicaFiscal federalismHuman person dignityPublic health financingCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - ArtigoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
