Sumario:This work aims to verify how the Public-private Partnership contracts can be used as a tool for the policy makers to provide infrastructure in health services, specially seeking to fight the coronavirus pandemic, like the construction of hospitals and health centers, plus research and development of vaccines and medicine. An analysis of PPP cases already currently working in Brazil was conducted, based on the empiric literature. The PPPs arise as a feasible alternative of investments in this sector, particularly in a fragile moment of public accounts, in addition to the need of healthcare improvements throughout the country. Besides being more efficient, this kind of contract also attenuate the pressure on the public accounts since it is financed by private investments.
