Resumo: This article aims to understand the aspects of the spread of Covid-19 in the Tocantina Region of the state of Maranhão based on historically existing inequalities in the supply of health services. The analyzed period comprises one year of a pandemic in the state. Data from the spatialization of Intensive Care Units (ICU), hospital beds, mechanical respirators/ventilators and six medical specialties are considered, as well as information about viral evolution in the 22 municipalities that make up the region. The main data sources are the Department of Informatics, which belongs to the Unified Health System (Datasus) and the State Department of Health of Maranhão. The aspects studied suggest that the concentration of medical specialties and medical-hospital equipment in the main urban center of the Tocantina Region, the city of Imperatriz, is configured as an expressive bottleneck in facing the Covid-19 pandemic, insofar as it triggers flows of people from centers with fewer services in search of medical care, resulting in wide contagion areas, in addition to distortions as to the geographical cases origin.

O período analisado compreende um ano de pandemia no estado. São considerados dados da espacialização de Unidades de Tratamento Intensivo (UTI), leitos hospitalares, respiradores/ventiladores mecânicos e seis especialidades médicas, bem como informações sobre a evolução viral nos 22 municípios que formam a região. As principais fontes de dados são o Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Datasus) e a Secretaria de Estado da Saúde do Maranhão. Os aspectos estudados sugerem que a concentração de especialidades médicas e equipamentos médico-hospitalares no principal centro urbano da Região Tocantina, a cidade de Imperatriz, configura-se como expressivo gargalo no enfrentamento da pandemia de Covid-19, na medida em que desencadeia fluxos de pessoas de centros com menor oferta de serviços em busca de atendimento médico, resultando em amplas áreas de contágio, além de distorções quanto a origem geográfica dos casos.EDUFU - Editora da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2023-04-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/caminhosdegeografia/article/view/6346110.14393/RCG249263461Caminhos de Geografia; Vol. 24 No. 92 (2023): Abril; 211-225Caminhos de Geografia; Vol. 24 Núm. 92 (2023): Abril; 211-225Caminhos de Geografia; v. 24 n. 92 (2023): Abril; 211-2251678-6343reponame:Caminhos de Geografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/caminhosdegeografia/article/view/63461/35919Copyright (c) 2023 Allison Bezerra Oliveira, Adriana Maria Bernardes da Silvahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Allison BezerraSilva, Adriana Maria Bernardes da2023-04-04T19:15:13Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/63461Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/caminhosdegeografia/indexPUBhttp://www.seer.ufu.br/index.php/caminhosdegeografia/oaiflaviasantosgeo@gmail.com1678-63431678-6343opendoar:2023-04-04T19:15:13Caminhos de Geografia - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
