O DIREITO À ASSISTÊNCIA UNIVERSAL NO ATENDIMENTO ÀS PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NAS UNIDADES BÁSICAS DE SAÚDE DO MUNICÍPIO DE INHUMAS

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.
