Financialization, understood as the trend towards the supremacy of the financial market, institutions, profitability, and the financial elite, has been an essential feature of capitalism in recent decades. Its effects on sectors such as healthcare require extensive investigation to understand how healthcare systems (in their public and private aspects) have changed. In this article, we chose to focus the study on the sphere of financialization regarding how it changes the private health sector in Brazil, especially in terms of greater capital concentration with the participation of financial and foreign capital, with a special focus on changes in the hospital system.
