comando único

English translation: individual/independent management

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care / Brazil\'s Unified Health System
Portuguese term or phrase: comando único
Several options occur to me. I want to get it right because the translation will say a lot about Brazil's style of decentralization. Here's the context:

Eixos técnicos e políticos
da reforma sanitária brasileira:

- Saúde Como Direito de Todos e Dever do Estado;
- Descentralização com comando único em cada esfera de governo: municipal, estadual e federal;
- Organização dos Serviços pautada na Universalização do Atendimento, na Eqüidade dos Serviços e na Integralidade da Assistência;

unified control


Explanation:
Se é correta a interpretação de que a gestão é dividida entre os níveis administrativos, mas centralizada dentro de cada nível, eu favoreceria o uso de unified control/command
