Acesso à saúde da mulher, no período da pandemia de covid-19, no Brasil

Abstract

This course completion work aimed to understand, through bibliographic and documentary research, access to women's health and its functionalities during the COVID-19 pandemic period. To this end, the implications of gender and women's health were addressed, addressing the conditions of women in Brazilian society since colonization. Subsequently, we sought to understand the context in which the first women's health policies emerged in Brazil and their rights, women's health in the SUS, comprehensive care policies, aiming to understand their implications in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, considerations were made about the impacts that the pandemic had on both health services and the conditions of access to health services for women. In chapter 2 we discuss women's health policy in Brazil, the way this policy has developed over the years, and the challenges that women have faced in achieving their civil and political rights. In chapter 3 we discuss women's health policies, based on the creation of the SUS, a public health model built collectively that was designed according to the needs of the population. In chapter 4, the data collected from the research were presented. In addition, data collection strategies will be presented. With this work, it was possible to realize that women for many years had their rights violated due to the capitalist patriarchal system implemented by the colonizers, where women did not have rights to decide about their lives and their bodies, due to gender inequalities.
