Highly qualified and talented professionals from the public sector are typically lured into the private sector because of the substantial difference in pay between the two. Despite the problems in the system, Brazil has found ways to make the system effective for some of its public healthcare issues. Measles and polio, for example, have nearly vanished from Brazil.
