Resumo: | This article is the result of reflections from everyday professional work experiences at 1st Health Management of Santa Catarina State (GERSA), located in the municipality of São Miguel do Oeste (SC), which demands constant improvement and understanding of the socio-historical concepts regarding health and disease processes. This is a retrospective study of HD as a disease itself and its insertion in Brazilian public health policy. Historically considered as a typical poverty-associated disease, Hansen´s Disease is in a level in which the dominant paradigm of medicine has privileged, more specifically, the acute disease subject to be treated with high hospital technology, leaving out patients who have chronic diseases. The contamination occurs through direct contact from a sick individual to a healthy one. Despite the advances, Brazil has had a social life context, throughout its history, whose main indicative is the disparity of conditions among the citizens. On one hand, the technological advances benefit the living and eating conditions, the life quality; on the other hand, the misery conditions, hunger, diseases, lack of health care and, in a lot of places, restrictions to freedom and the restraint of having equality of possibilities for the totality of the “civil society”. However, only with the government´s, health professionals´ and population´s efforts all together, it will be possible to eliminate the disease and achieve the expected results. |

O estudo faz uma retrospectiva da hanseníase como uma doença e de sua inserção na política pública da saúde brasileiro. Considerada historicamente uma doença típica da pobreza, a hanseníase situa-se num patamar em que o paradigma dominante da medicina tem privilegiado, mais especificamente, a doença aguda passível de ser tratada com alta tecnologia hospitalar. Deixando à margem os pacientes com a doença crônica instalada. A contaminação ocorre por contato direto de indivíduo doente para indivíduo sadio. Apesar de avanços, o Estado brasileiro ao longo de sua história, tem vivenciado um contexto de vida social cuja principal nota indicativa é a disparidade de condições entre os cidadãos. De um lado, os avanços tecnológicos beneficiando as condições de habitação, alimentação, qualidade de vida; do outro, as condições de miséria, fome, doença, falta de acesso à saúde e, em muitos locais, restrições à liberdade e delimitação do exercício da igualdade de possibilidades para a totalidade da “sociedade civil”. Porém, somente com os esforços de todos, governo, profissionais de saúde e população, que será possível eliminar a doença e alcançar os resultados esperados.PPG em Política Social e Direitos Humanos2012-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucpel.edu.br/rsd/article/view/677Sociedade em Debate; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2010): Sociedade em Debate; 135-162Sociedade em Debate; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2010): Sociedade em Debate; 135-162Sociedade em Debate; v. 16 n. 2 (2010): Sociedade em Debate; 135-1622317-02041414-9869reponame:Sociedade em Debate (Online)instname:Universidade Católica de Pelotas (UCPEL)instacron:UCPELporhttps://revistas.ucpel.edu.br/rsd/article/view/677/601Cetolin, Sirlei FáveroTrzcinski, ClaretePresta, Andréia AntoniukSoares, BeatrizCetolin, Simone Kellyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-05-16T16:31:35Zoai:www.rle.ucpel.tche.br:article/677Revistahttps://revistas.ucpel.edu.br/index.php/rsdPUBhttps://revistas.ucpel.edu.br/index.php/rsd/oaiveramrn@gmail.com||revista@phoenix.ucpel.tche.br2317-02041414-9869opendoar:2024-05-16T16:31:35Sociedade em Debate (Online) - Universidade Católica de Pelotas (UCPEL)false |
