Abstract:
The work consists of presenting how the Unified Health System (SUS) guarantees
inclusion and accessibility in the care of people with disabilities, through the Primary
Care Networks. The choice of theme came with the objective of demonstrating the
right to health of people with disabilities, in the care and reception in Basic Health
Units, analyzing the barriers encountered in the search for access to health
services, whether structural or attitudinal, such as the prejudice and inequality. This
study presents a historical context about the SUS, and an analysis of public health
policies in Brazil and the right to health of people with disabilities, in order to, finally,
deepen the health care networks of these people. It emphasizes that this
fundamental right must be guaranteed in an equitable, universal and egalitarian
way. The methodology used was qualitative, bibliographic and documentary
research, based on treaties, laws, articles and materials published on websites of
the Ministry of Health, LILACS, SCIELO and scientific legal journals, on the topic of
inclusion, accessibility, health and people with disabilities. The theoretical
framework follows the lessons of Joaquin Herrera Flores, by bringing a critical
analysis of human rights as a basis for the emancipation of people with disabilities,
in the search for their rights, in addition to the analysis of the components,
guidelines and public policies of the Unified Health System made by the author
Raphaela Karla de Toledo. The research concludes that, despite legal advances in
the principles and guidelines of the Unified Health System and in public health
policies, people with disabilities seek equal access to care and reception in basic
health networks. In this way, the work reveals a narrow gateway to the SUS,
deserving a different look, which adopts as a starting point the needs of inclusion
and accessibility for these people, asserting the socioeconomic and political
integration of people with disabilities.
