Abstract
In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization of the services of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) played a fundamental role based on aspects such as the structuring of services and levels of health care, hiring and training of professionals, allocation of resources, as well as such as the offer and access to hospital beds. This essay seeks to discuss how the current dynamics of SUS in relation to the organization of services has influenced the performance of this system in coping with the pandemic of COVID-19.
