The Right to Health Care Viewed from the Indigenous Research Paradigm: Violations of the Rights of an Aymara Warmi in Chile's Tarapacá Region.

This paper reflects on the right to health care from the Indigenous research paradigm. We analyze the case of an Aymara wise warmi (woman) who died after the Chilean health care system failed to provide culturally appropriate care. In the wake of her death, our cooperative launched an interdisciplinary and collaborative research project in an effort to file an administrative complaint against the family health center that treated her. We explore the events surrounding her treatment and death, as well as the institutional written response. Our work elucidates the significant differences that exist between institutional and Indigenous perspectives on what constitutes a violation of the right to health care. We demonstrate that in order to establish the existence of such violations, Aymara people are compelled to develop evidence using a naturalistic scientific and legal framework that does not coincide with their ontology. Consequently, some events and violations are not legally recognized as culturally inappropriate health care unless they are viewed through an Indigenous lens. Finally, we reflect on the problem of evidence production, specifically regarding the right to health care. We argue that the fight for the right to health care can benefit from the Indigenous research paradigm-not only for the benefit of Indigenous people but also to provide culturally appropriate care to all people.

The Urban Environment and Disparities in Sexual and Reproductive Health Outcomes in the Global South: a Scoping Review.

By 2050, the Global South will contain three-quarters of the world's urban inhabitants, yet no standardized categorizations of urban areas exist. This makes it challenging to compare sub-groups within cities. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are a critical component of ensuring that populations are healthy and productive, yet SRHR outcomes within and across urban settings vary significantly. A scoping review of the literature (2010-2022) was conducted to describe the current body of evidence on SRHR in urban settings in the Global South, understand disparities, and highlight promising approaches to improving urban SRHR outcomes. A total of 115 studies were identified, most from Kenya (30 articles; 26%), Nigeria (15; 13%), and India (16; 14%), focusing on family planning (56; 49%) and HIV/STIs (43; 37%). Findings suggest significant variation in access to services, and challenges such as gender inequality, safety, and precarious circumstances in employment and housing. Many of the studies (n = 84; 80%) focus on individual-level risks and do not consider how neighborhood environments, concentrated poverty, and social exclusion shape behaviors and norms related to SRHR. Research gaps in uniformly categorizing urban areas and key aspects of the urban environment make it challenging to understand the heterogeneity of urban environments, populations, and SRHR outcomes and compare across studies. Findings from this review may inform the development of holistic programs and policies targeting structural barriers to SRHR in urban environments to ensure services are inclusive, equitably available and accessible, and direct future research to fill identified gaps.

Implicações da prática profissional no acolhimento institucional de crianças: perspectiva de cuidadoras / Implications of professional practice in children's institutional sheltering: caregivers' perspective / Implicaciones de la práctica profesional en el alojamiento institucional de niños: perspectiva de cuidadoras

Este estudo qualitativo teve como objetivo compreender, a partir da teoria de bioecológica de desenvolvimento, as implicações da prática profissional no processo de acolhimento de crianças em uma casa-abrigo, na perspectiva de cuidadoras. As participantes foram 10 profissionais de uma casa-abrigo localizada na região sul do Brasil. Utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada e a organização e análise dos dados sustentou-se na Grounded Theory, com auxílio do software Atlas.ti 8.4.14. Os resultados evidenciaram uma centralização das ações de acolhimento e atenção em torno dos cuidados físicos das crianças. As ações para promover suporte e cuidados emocionais dentro da casa-abrigo eram delegadas às profissionais da equipe técnica da instituição. Observou-se que as dificuldades encontradas pelas cuidadoras diziam respeito à falta de segurança e preparação para responder e acolher as demandas emocionais das crianças, as quais estão presentes em diversos momentos do processo de acolhimento. Percebeu-se que as práticas institucionais afetaram decisivamente tanto as ações de acolhimento das participantes e o suporte emocional oferecido às crianças na passagem pela casa-abrigo quanto as cuidadoras, no sentido de vivenciarem no trabalho sentimentos de insegurança. Os resultados tensionam ecologicamente a interação nos processos proximais presentes no desenvolvimento humano. Advoga-se pela reflexão sobre as implicações das práticas institucionais de uma casa-abrigo e o desenvolvimento infantil, visando o cuidado integral dos acolhidos.(AU)

Based on the developmental bioecological theory, this study analyzes the implications of professional practice in children's user embracement at a shelter from the caregivers' perspective. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 professionals from a shelter located in southern Brazil. Data organization and analysis was performed based on Grounded Theory using the Atlas.ti 8.4.14 software. Results showed that embracement and attention focus on the physical care of children. Support and emotional care activities were delegated to the institution's technical team. Caregivers faced difficulties regarding the lack of security and preparation to respond to and accept the children's emotional demands, which arise at different moments in the embracement process. The institutional practices decisively affected both user embracement actions and the emotional support offered to the children, as well as the caregivers, in the sense of experiencing feelings of insecurity. These findings ecologically tension the interaction in the proximal processes present in human development. Further reflections on the implications of institutional shelter-based practices for child development are needed to provide comprehensive care.(AU)

Este estudio cualitativo tuvo como objetivo comprender, desde la perspectiva de la teoría bioecológica del desarrollo, las implicaciones de la práctica profesional en el proceso de acogida de niños en una institución infantil desde la perspectiva de las cuidadoras. Las participantes fueron 10 profesionales de una institución de acogida infantil ubicada en la región Sur de Brasil. Se utilizó la entrevista semiestructurada, y para la organización y análisis de datos se aplicó Grounded Theory, con el uso del software Atlas.ti 8.4.14. Los resultados mostraron que las acciones de recepción y atención se centran en el cuidado físico de los niños. Las acciones de promoción de apoyo y cuidado emocional dentro del alojamiento se asignaron a los profesionales del equipo técnico de la institución. Se observó que las dificultades encontradas por las cuidadoras estaban relacionadas con la falta de seguridad y preparación para responder y aceptar las demandas emocionales de los niños, las cuales se encuentran presentes en diferentes momentos del proceso de acogida. Se notó que las prácticas institucionales afectaron decisivamente tanto las acciones de acogida de las participantes como el apoyo emocional que la institución brinda a los niños durante su paso, así como a las cuidadoras en el sentido de experimentar sentimientos de inseguridad en el trabajo. Estos resultados tensan ecológicamente la interacción en los procesos proximales presentes en el desarrollo humano. Se aboga por reflexionar sobre las implicaciones de las prácticas institucionales en los alojamientos institucionales y el desarrollo infantil, apuntando a la atención integral de los acogidos.(AU)

Serviço-escola de psicologia da Unifesp: campos de estágio, ações e especificidades / UNIFESP's psychology service-school: internship field, actions, and specificities / Serviço-escola de psicologia de la Unifesp: campos de prácticas profesionales, acciones y especificidades

O Serviço-Escola de Psicologia (SEP) da Unifesp foi constituído com o intuito de transcender o tradicional funcionamento das clínicas-escola, superando a atomização da Psicologia em áreas e oferecendo serviços integrados à rede. Isso possibilita uma formação interdisciplinar, pluralista, generalista, não tecnicista, crítica, permitindo a compreensão e atuação do psicólogo em diversos contextos socioculturais. O objetivo do artigo é descrever, avaliar e problematizar as ações do SEP da Unifesp, em relação à oferta de campos de estágio e ações desenvolvidas neles. É um estudo transversal, baseado em metodologia predominantemente quantitativa e descritiva. O levantamento de dados foi realizado por meio de dois questionários online respondidos por todos os supervisores. Os dados quantitativos foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva. Os resultados evidenciaram maior incidência das ações no município de Santos e, em menor grau, em outros municípios da Baixada Santista e na cidade de São Paulo. A maioria das atividades de estágios não se limita ao espaço físico de atendimento clínico do Serviço-Escola, ocorrendo junto às instituições públicas ou às instituições ligadas ao terceiro setor na região, relacionadas, direta ou indiretamente, com a promoção de políticas públicas. A pluralidade de recursos utilizados (grupos, atendimento individual, acompanhamento terapêutico, oficinas, matriciamento, entre outros) revela uma ampliação do repertório de competências e habilidades. A variedade de oferta de projetos e campos de estágio, públicos-alvo atendidos, assim como a diversidade e flexibilidade de ações e estratégias desenvolvidas, apontam um movimento de congruência em relação às diretrizes curriculares nacionais e ao inovador Projeto Pedagógico do curso.(AU)

UNIFESP's Psychology Service-School (SEP) was founded with the objective of going beyond the traditional functioning of school-clinics, overcoming the atomization of Psychology in areas and offering services integrated to the network. This enables an interdisciplinary, pluralist, generalist, non-technicist, and critical training, allowing psychologists' understanding and action in different sociocultural contexts. This article aims to describe, evaluate, and discuss the actions of UNIFESP's SEP regarding the offer of internship fields and the actions developed in those fields. It is a cross-sectional study, based on a predominantly descriptive and quantitative methodology. The data was surveyed with two online questionnaires answered by all supervisors. Quantitative data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed a higher incidence of actions in the municipality of Santos and, to a lesser extent, in other municipalities of the Baixada Santista and in the city of São Paulo. Most internship activities are not limited to the physical space of the service-school's clinical care and take place alongside public institutions or institutions linked to the third sector in the area, directly or indirectly related to the promotion of public policies. The plurality of resources (groups, personal care, therapeutic monitoring, workshops, matrix support, among others) reveals an expansion of competences and skills repertoire. The variety of projects and internship fields offers, of target audiences served, as well as the diversity and flexibility of the developed actions and strategies point to a congruence movement relating to national curricular guidelines and to the innovative pedagogical project of the course.(AU)

[Human Health Rights: Discussing Health Inequality for Taiwanese Indigenous Peoples and the Appropriateness of Current Epidemic Policies].

Many studies from around the world demonstrate that COVID-19 has had significantly higher rates of infection, hospitalization, and mortality among indigenous and other vulnerable groups than among mainstream population groups. This situation has exposed and reinforced pre-existing health inequalities. This article investigates the rates of infection and mortality among different cultural groups during the COVID-19 pandemic, and then deconstructs the key elements related to systemic or structural racism. The impacts on the human rights and health of indigenous peoples and issues of policy formulation and resource equity during the epidemic are also mentioned. Based on the identified root causes of health inequality, suggestions for reducing health inequality for Taiwanese indigenous peoples are proposed. Further, during epidemics, policymakers must design and implement culturally appropriate epidemic prevention policies, systems, and strategies for indigenous and other disadvantaged populations.

Health resource allocation among indigenous peoples from the right to health and health capability approaches: The case of P'urhépecha people.

The right to health under the human rights-based approach and health capability paradigm can be used to identify whether health-related resources are allocated in a way that health inequities are being reduced among indigenous peoples taking into account what they value. Elements for these approaches were identified and assessed for the P'urhépecha people in Mexico through developed indicators based on the available statistics and qualitative data. Compared with the national level, there is a lag for most of the indicators related to the availability and use of public health systems, health determinants, health-related information, and traditional healing. People are worried because diseases such as diabetes and substance abuse are high and rising; however, they continue lifestyles that support them. Through the health capability paradigm and the right to health approach, it is found that health and health capabilities for the P'urhépecha must comprise their idea of good living (Buen Vivir) or sési irékani, which in turn requires the right to development. In this sense, current P'urhépecha demands converge with those of other indigenous peoples in which autonomy, as a right to self-determination, is a necessary condition to design their health policy and allocate health-related resources in a globalised world.

Desigualdades en el control odontológico prenatal en Colombia, un análisis a partir del IV Estudio Nacional de Salud Bucal, 2013-2014 / Inequalities in dental prenatal control in Colombia: An analysis based on the IV National Oral Health Study, 2013-2014

Resumen | Introducción. La atención odontológica es esencial para garantizar el derecho a una maternidad saludable. En Colombia, las políticas de atención prenatal incorporan la promoción, prevención y atención en salud bucal como parte de la atención integral que deben recibir las mujeres gestantes en el sistema de salud, sin embargo, no se hace un seguimiento sistemático del cumplimiento de estas directrices. Objetivo. Explorar la atención efectiva y las desigualdades sociales en la prestación y el uso del control odontológico prenatal en Colombia. Materiales y métodos. Estudio descriptivo con datos de las mujeres gestantes reportadas en el Cuarto Estudio Nacional de Salud Bucal, 2013-2014. Se estimaron las desigualdades sociales absolutas y relativas, según zona de residencia, pertenencia étnica, nivel educativo, régimen de afiliación a los servicios de salud y estrato socioeconómico. Resultados. Se analizaron los datos de 1.050 mujeres gestantes. El 88,37 % recibió control prenatal y, el 57,19 %, control odontológico. Se observó un patrón general de brechas sociales en el uso efectivo de este último servicio, principalmente en función del aseguramiento. Las mujeres gestantes con mayor posibilidad de recibir atención odontológica prenatal fueron aquellas con algún aseguramiento en salud (razón de prevalencias, RP=2,62; IC95% 2,12-3,12), residentes en zonas urbanas (RP=1,37; IC95% 1,18-1,56), con nivel educativo técnico o superior (RP=1,20; IC95% 1,02-1,38) o de estratos sociales medios o altos (RP=1,15; IC95% 1,01-1,29). Conclusiones. En Colombia, la prestación efectiva del control odontológico a mujeres gestantes como parte de la atención prenatal integral, sigue siendo un reto. Se requieren importantes esfuerzos para cumplir las normas y reducir las desigualdades sociales en el acceso a este servicio.

Abstract | Introduction: Dental care is essential in guaranteeing the right to healthy motherhood. In Colombia, prenatal care policies incorporate the promotion, prevention, and care in oral health as part of the comprehensive care that pregnant women must receive within the health system. However, there is no systematic monitoring of compliance with these guidelines. Objective: To explore effective care and social inequalities in the provision and use of prenatal dental control in Colombia. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive study with data on pregnant women reported in the Fourth National Oral Health Study, 2013-2014. Absolute and relative social inequalities were estimated according to the area of residence, ethnicity, education level, health affiliation regime, and socioeconomic stratum. Results: We analyzed the data from 1,050 pregnant women. In total, 88.37% received prenatal control and 57.19%, dental control. We observed a general pattern of social gaps in the effective use of the latter, mainly due to the health insurance regime. The pregnant women with the greatest possibility of having some prenatal dental control, were those with some health insurance (prevalence ratio [RP]=2.62; CI 95%: 2.12-3.12), residents in urban areas (RP= 1,37; CI95%: 1.18-1.56), with higher and/or technical education level (RP=1.20; CI95%: 1.02-1.38) or from mid-high social strata (RP=1.15; CI95%: 1.01-1.29). Conclusions: In Colombia, the effective provision of dental control to pregnant women as part of comprehensive prenatal care continues to be a challenge. Significant efforts are required to comply with regulations and reduce social inequalities in access to this service.

Clinical nutrition and human rights. An international position paper.

The International Working Group for Patients' Right to Nutritional Care presents its position paper regarding nutritional care as a human right intrinsically linked to the right to food and the right to health. All people should have access to food and evidence-based medical nutrition therapy including artificial nutrition and hydration. In this regard, the hospitalized malnourished ill should mandatorily have access to screening, diagnosis, nutritional assessment, with optimal and timely nutritional therapy in order to overcome malnutrition associated morbidity and mortality, while reducing the rates of disease-related malnutrition. This right does not imply there is an obligation to feed all patients at any stage of life and at any cost. On the contrary, this right implies, from an ethical point of view, that the best decision for the patient must be taken and this may include, under certain circumstances, the decision not to feed. Application of the human rights-based approach to the field of clinical nutrition will contribute to the construction of a moral, political and legal focus to the concept of nutritional care. Moreover, it will be the cornerstone to the rationale of political and legal instruments in the field of clinical nutrition.

The politest form of racism: sexual and reproductive health and rights paradigm in Canada.

The Canadian national identity is often understood as what it is not; American. Inundation with American history, news, and culture around race and racism imbues Canadians with a false impression of egalitarianism, resulting in a lack of critical national reflection. While this is true in instances, the cruel reality of inequity, injustice and racism is rampant within the Canadian sexual and reproductive health and rights realm. Indeed, the inequitable health outcomes for Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) are rooted in policy, research, health promotion and patient care. Built by colonial settlers, many of the systems currently in place have yet to embark on the necessary process of addressing the colonial, racist, and ableist structures perpetuating inequities in health outcomes. The mere fact that Canada sees itself as better than America in terms of race relations is an excuse to overlook its decades of racial and cultural discrimination against Indigenous and Black people. While this commentary may not be ground-breaking for BIPOC communities who have remained vocal about these issues at a grassroots level for decades, there exists a gap in the Canadian literature in exploring these difficult and often underlying dynamics of racism. In this commentary series, the authors aim to promote strategies addressing systemic racism and incorporating a reproductive justice framework in an attempt to reduce health inequities among Indigenous, Black and racialized communities in Canada.

Ciencia, responsabilidad y derecho a la salud en el diagnóstico de la COVID-19 / Science, responsibility and the right to health in the diagnosis of COVID-19

Introducción: El Coronavirus ha golpeado a la humanidad en la segunda década del siglo XXI, y propagado el terror, la crisis económica y la muerte. Su expansión en todo el planeta ha juzgado las políticas y las prácticas en ciencia y salud de todos los Estados. En Ecuador, el panorama aún es incierto, y muestra un sistema científico y de salud insuficiente para enfrentar el desafío planteado por la naturaleza. Objetivo: Exponer, desde el principio de responsabilidad, el papel de la ciencia en el derecho a la salud en el contexto del diagnóstico de SARS-CoV-2 en Ecuador. Desarrollo: El deber, como parte del principio de responsabilidad, alienta a la ciencia a alcanzar el estado de bienestar humano. Actuar para que haya un verdadero futuro en el campo de la medicina debe orientarse hacia una mayor cobertura de salud, minimizar los riesgos potenciales contra el bienestar integral del hombre, prevenir la aparición de nuevas enfermedades, aumentar la tecnología para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de enfermedades presentes y futuras, aumentar el arsenal terapéutico disponible y hacer que los servicios de salud sean accesibles y equitativos. Conclusiones: Garantizar el derecho a la salud requiere que los Gobiernos promuevan la investigación en salud, adopten políticas públicas y asignen recursos en toda su extensión para que el acceso y la equidad en este campo constituyan los medios para implementar el derecho a la auténtica vida humana en el presente y el futuro(AU)

Introduction: Coronavirus has hit humanity in the second decade of the 21st century, and spread terror, economic crisis and death. Its expansion throughout the planet has judged the policies and practices in science and health of all states. In Ecuador, the panorama is still uncertain, and it shows that the scientific and health system is insufficient to face the challenge posed by nature. Objective: To present the role of science, from the principle of responsibility, in the right to health in the context of the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in Ecuador. Main body: Duty, as part of the principle of responsibility, encourages science to achieve the state of human well-being. Acting so that there is a true future in the field of medicine should be oriented towards greater health coverage, minimizing potential risks against the comprehensive well-being of man, preventing the appearance of new diseases, increasing technology for the diagnosis and treatment of current and future diseases, increasing the therapeutic resources available and making health services accessible and equitable. Conclusions: Guaranteeing the right to health requires that governments promote health research, adopt public policies, and allocate resources in their entirety so that access and equity in this field constitute the means to implement the right to authentic human life in the present and the future(AU)

[The perspective of migrants on access to health care in the context of austerity policies in Andalusia (Spain)]. / La perspectiva de personas migrantes sobre el acceso a la atención sanitaria en el contexto de políticas de austeridad en Andalucía.

OBJECTIVE: To conduct an assessment of migrant people regarding their access to the health system following entry into force of Royal Decree-Law 16/2012 along with the impact of economic cuts on such access. METHOD: Qualitative phenomenological study with semi-structured interviews, conducted in Andalusia (Spain), in two phases (2009-2010 and 2012-2013), with 36 participants. The sample was segmented by length of stay, nationality and area of residence. The nationalities of origin are Bolivia, Morocco and Romania. RESULTS: Elements facilitating access in both periods: regular administrative situation, possession of Individual Health Card, knowledge of the language, social networks and information. The results show differences in access to health care for migrants before and after the enforcement of the RDL 16/2012, within austerity policies. In the second period, access barriers such as waiting times or incompatibility of schedules are aggravated and the socio-economic and administrative conditions of participants worsen. CONCLUSIONS: The design of policies, economic and regulatory health care, should take into account barriers and facilitators of access as fundamental main points of health protection for migrants and, therefore, for the general population.

Modelo para la atención intercultural a la salud de los pueblos indígenas y afromexicano. Política Intercultural en Salud. Elementos esenciales / Model for intercultural health care for indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples. Intercultural Policy in Health. Essential elements

México es un país con una composición pluricultural, reconocida en el artículo 2º constitucional, sustentada originalmente en sus pueblos indígenas, que son aquellos que descienden de poblaciones que habitaban en el territorio actual del país al iniciarse la colonización. Recientemente la Constitución Mexicana también reconoce a la población afromexicana. La atención a la salud para los pueblos indígenas y afromexicanos es un derecho constitucional que requiere de un diseño intercultural ágil, claro e incluyente de acciones e intervenciones por parte de las áreas e instituciones públicas, especialmente de salud. Los conceptos y procesos de salud-enfermedad-vida-muerte y formas de abordarlos están sensiblemente determinados por la cultura, por ello, el presente documento, derivado de experiencias en el diseño e implementación de la política de interculturalidad, considera cuatro componentes en el proceso de atención: a) la población objetivo en su diversidad cultural y cosmovisión, b) el personal de salud en su singularidad cultural, c) las estrategias, modelos y programas de atención, en los que consideramos el Modelo de la Medicina y Partería Tradicional Indígena como un componente esencial en la oferta y d) Estrategias de comunicación con enfoque intercultural, a fin de lograr el acceso efectivo a los servicios con dignidad, seguridad y calidad, propiciando el empoderamiento de los actores, en el ejercicio de su derecho a la salud

Guía Sociocultural para la prevención, contención y manejo de casos COVID-19 / Sociocultural Guide for prevention, containment and case management COVID-19

El presente documento recopila algunas acciones sugeridas desde el Ministerio de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social -MSPAS-, a través de la Unidad de Pueblos Indígenas e Interculturalidad, para su aplicación en comunidades donde viven o prevalecen habitantes de los pueblos Maya, Garífuna y Xinka, para afrontar el nuevo coronavirus COVID-19, que afecta en la actualidad a nivel nacional y mundial. Se trata de una guía para consulta y uso de comunidades y organizaciones de pueblos indígenas, así como del personal de salud. Las acciones propuestas se basan en la necesidad de brindar, por parte del personal de salud pública, una atención integral y con pertinencia cultural, durante las diferentes intervenciones, para dar cumplimiento a los derechos colectivos de los pueblos indígenas, que, debido a los diversos contextos socioculturales, requieren una atención diferenciada, con enfoque de derechos humanos. Asimismo, se incluye información resumida referente a la pandemia COVID-19, brindada por las autoridades sanitarias nacionales e internacionales; mensajes principales de la campaña institucional MSPAS para prevenir y contener el virus, más las buenas prácticas de otros contextos y países, que han asumido el compromiso de enfrentar la pandemia junto a los pueblos indígenas, lo cual también contribuye a una mejor comunicación y coordinación entre los pueblos y comunidades indígenas y sus autoridades propias, con las autoridades en salud y del país.

O SUS na vida dos brasileiros: assistência, acessibilidade e equidade no cotidiano de usuários da Atenção Primária à Saúde / SUS in the lives of Brazilians: care, accessibility, and equity in the daily life of Primary Health Care users

Resumo Objetivo: compreender a assistência à saúde, equidade e acessibilidade no cotidiano de usuários da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e descritivo, delineado pelo método de Estudo de Casos Múltiplos Holístico e pelo referencial teórico da Sociologia Compreensiva do Cotidiano. Participaram 77 usuários do SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) de dois municípios de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Resultados: foram identificadas a noção do usuário sobre o SUS, sua idealização, a realidade vivida considerando a acessibilidade e a assistência na APS, relacionando-as com o direito à saúde. Conclusões: a APS ainda enfrenta dificuldades para efetivamente ser a porta de entrada preferencial nas realidades estudadas. Observam-se limites de estrutura na APS para alcançar a assistência integral em rede. A superação de dificuldades e limites é central para o fortalecimento do SUS.

Abstract Objective: To understand health care, equity and accessibility in the daily lives of Primary Health Care (PHC) users. Methodology: This is a qualitative and descriptive study, outlined by the Holistic Multiple Case Study method and by the theoretical framework of Comprehensive Sociology of Everyday Life, in which 77 SUS (Unified Health System) users from two municipalities in Minas Gerais, Brazil, participated. Results: Express the user's notion about SUS, its idealization, the reality experienced considering accessibility and care in PHC, relating them to the right to health. Conclusions: PHC still faces difficulties to be the preferred gateway to the studied realities. There are structural limits in the PHC to achieve comprehensive care in a network. Overcoming difficulties and limits is central to strengthening the SUS.

Sobreviver nas ruas: percursos de resistência à negação do direito à saúde / Sobrevivir en las calles: resistencias a la negación del derecho a la salud / Surviving on the streets: paths of resistance to the denial of health rights

RESUMO. Contextos de exclusão conformam ciclos de marginalização de grupos populacionais, como a população em situação de rua (PSR). Nesse contexto violações de direitos humanos são recorrentes, em especial a dificuldade de acesso à saúde. A efetivação das políticas para a PSR nas cidades brasileiras ainda é escassa, por sua restrição a cidades de médio e grande porte e ao parco investimento público. Dessa forma, o estudo tem por objetivo investigar os percursos de cuidado à saúde da PSR em um município de pequeno porte. Foram realizadas observações de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas para identificação e compreensão dos recursos acionados nas trajetórias de cuidado à saúde, que foram analisadas a partir da análise de conteúdo temática. Ressaltaram-se as diversas estratégias desenvolvidas pelo público diante da negação do direito à saúde e ao autocuidado. Destacam-se entre os resultados a precariedade de ofertas ao cuidado da saúde da mulher, a restrição do cuidado em saúde ao uso de substâncias psicoativas, de cunho medicalizante e centrado no paradigma da abstinência. Observou-se a importância da moradia para o cuidado integral, e das redes sociais e comunitárias como forma de restabelecimento da saúde nas ruas.

RESUMEN. Los contextos de exclusión conforman ciclos de marginación de grupos poblacionales, como la población en situación de calle (PSC). En este contexto, violaciones de derechos humanos son recurrentes, en especial la dificultad de acceso a la salud. La efectividad de las políticas para la PSC en las ciudades brasileñas sigue siendo escasa, por su restricción a ciudades de mediano y gran porte y a la poca inversión pública. Así, el estudio buscó investigar los recorridos de cuidado a la salud de la PSC en una ciudad de pequeño porte. Se realizaron observaciones de campo y entrevistas semiestructuradas para identificación y comprensión de los recursos accionados en las trayectorias de cuidado de la salud, que fueron analizadas a partir del análisis de contenido temático. Se resaltan las diversas estrategias desarrolladas por este público como forma de resistencia a la negación del derecho a la salud y autocuidado. Se destacan la precariedad de ofertas al cuidado de la salud de la mujer, la restricción del cuidado en salud al uso de sustancias psicoactivas, de cuño de medicalización y centrado en el paradigma de la abstinencia. Se observaron la importancia de la vivienda para el cuidado integral, y de las redes sociales y comunitarias como forma de restablecimiento de la salud en las calles.

ABSTRACT. Exclusion contexts constitute cycles of marginalization of population groups, such as the homeless people (HP). In this context, human rights violations are recurrent, especially related to the difficulty of access to health services. The effectiveness of the policies for HP in Brazilian cities is still scarce, due to its restriction to medium and large cities and the limited public investment. Thus, the study sought to investigate HP health care paths in a small city. Field observations and semi-structured interviews were carried out to identify and understand the resources used in health care trajectories, which were analyzed based on thematic content analysis. Several strategies developed by the public in the face of the denial to the health rights and self-care are highlighted. Among the results, the precariousness of offers to women's health care, the restriction of health care to the use of psychoactive substances, of medicalizing nature and centered on the abstinence paradigm were stood out. It was observed the importance of housing for comprehensive care, and social and community networks as a way of restoring health on the streets.

Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares: trajetória e desafios em 30 anos do SUS / National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices: trajectory and challenges in 30 years of SUS

Resumo Este artigo analisa a construção e desenvolvimento da Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PNPIC) no SUS e seus antecedentes. O estudo envolveu revisão de literatura, análise documental e entrevistas com atores-chave no processo de construção e implementação da política. Apoiou-se no modelo de múltiplos fluxos proposto por Kingdon no que tange à formulação da agenda política. Os resultados apontam momentos importantes na trajetória da política: influência de parâmetros internacionais; papel das conferências nacionais de saúde na construção da demanda social; experiências iniciais de oferta na rede pública; protagonismo no âmbito do ensino e pesquisa; entrada na agenda política; condução federal e desafios para a institucionalização. A formulação da PNPIC ocorre pela pressão de atores estratégicos que empreenderam ações em condições institucionais favoráveis no âmbito do Ministério da Saúde após mudança política na esfera do Governo Federal em 2003, criando uma janela de oportunidade política. Tal processo foi marcado por resistências oriundas da racionalidade biomédica e disputas de interesses. Apesar do avanço relativo à disseminação e visibilidade da oferta de serviços, as ações no âmbito da condução federal não foram acompanhadas por mudanças significativas na formação dos profissionais e nas práticas hegemônicas de saúde.

Abstract This article analyzes the construction and development of the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices (NPICP) in SUS and its background. The study involved literature review, documentary analysis, and interviews with key actors in the policy building and implementation process. It was based on Kingdon's multi-flow model with regard to the formulation of the political agenda. The results point to important moments in the policy trajectory: influence of international parameters; role of national health conferences in building social demand; initial experiences of supply in the public network; protagonism in teaching and research; entry into the political agenda; federal leadership and challenges to institutionalization. The formulation of the NPICP is based on the pressure of strategic actors who undertook actions under favorable institutional conditions within the scope of the Ministry of Health after political change within the Federal Government in 2003, creating a window of political opportunity. This process was marked by resistance stemming from biomedical rationality and disputes of interest. Despite advances in the dissemination and visibility of service provision, actions under federal driving were not accompanied by significant changes in the training of professionals and in hegemonic health practices.

"Nacer en determinado lugar te condiciona". Salud, derecho a la ciudad, crisis y participación en un barrio reubicado / "Being born in a certain place conditions you". Health, right to the city, crisis and participation in a relocated neighborhood

Resumen Este artículo analiza, en el marco de una relocalización de asentamientos, la participación y las tácticas de los/as habitantes de Barrio Nuevo y médicos/as de un Centro de Salud de La Plata (Argentina) ante la crisis acontecida a partir de la aplicación de políticas de austeridad.El supuesto del que partimos es que la participación comunitaria y en el campo de la salud (entendida en un sentido holístico) posibilita identificar e incidir en los condicionantes sociales, como el derecho a la ciudad, para favorecer transformaciones de la situación de salud del territorio. Para ello, indagaremos la crisis, las políticas actuales y los modos de participación. En particular, desarrollaremos la experiencia de un Análisis de Situación de Salud (ASIS) en el barrio y analizaremos la relación entre derecho a la salud y derecho a la ciudad.Se empleó una metodología etnográfica. Se realizaron observaciones participantes, entrevistas en profundidad, un taller de salud y se participó en el ASIS.Concluimos que hay una relación dialéctica entre derecho a la ciudad y a la salud y ésta es una construcción colectiva. Toda participación barrial fortalece las intervenciones en salud. Ello es indispensable en contextos de crisis para luchar por derechos vulnerados.

Abstract The present paper analyzes, in the context of a settlements' relocation, the participation and tactics developed by the Barrio Nuevo inhabitants and doctors of a Health Centre in La Plata (Argentina), to face the crisis that is taking place in the country from the application of austerity policies. Our assumption is that community participation and in health issues (understood in a holistic sense) makes it possible to identify and intervene in social conditions, such as the right to the city, to produce changes in the health situation of the territory. For this, we will investigate the crisis, the current public policies and the modes of participation. Specifically, we will develop the experience of a Health Situation Analysis (ASIS) held in the territory and we will analyze the relationship between the right to health and the right to the city.The methodology used is ethnography. We carried out participant observations, in-depth interviews, a health workshop and participated in the ASIS.We conclude that there is a dialectical relationship between the right to the city and to health and this is a collective construction. All community participation strengthens health interventions. This is essential in crisis contexts to fight for violated rights.

Salud en movimiento: movimientos sociales y salud popular en La Plata, Argentina / Health on the move: social movements and popular health in La Plata, Argentina

Resumen El presente artículo indaga sobre la participación popular en salud en barrios de la periferia de La Plata (Argentina) en un contexto de vaciamiento de las políticas sociales de acuerdo a las normativas neoliberales que rigen con fuerza creciente en el país y en el continente. En este marco de crisis económica que afecta particularmente a la salud pública, los movimientos sociales se organizan para defenderla, al mismo tiempo que resisten el empobrecimiento cotidiano y construyen alternativas de salud popular y colectiva. El trabajo, sostenido en una investigación etnográfica, se propone reconstruir los modos en que los sujetos reconfiguran los modos de pensar la salud y la participación política en la vida cotidiana de los territorios a través de distintas tácticas y estrategias de cuidado y construcción político-comunitarias.

Abstract This article investigates the popular participation in health in neighborhoods of the periphery of La Plata (Argentina) in a context of emptying of social policies according to the neo-liberal regulations that govern with increasing force in the country and in the continent. In this framework of economic crisis that especially affects public health, social movements are organized to defend, while resisting daily impoverishment and building popular and collective health alternatives. The work, sustained in an ethnographic investigation, aims to reconstruct the ways in which the subjects reconfigure the ways of thinking about health and political participation in the daily life of the territories through different tactics and strategies of care and community-political construction.
