A acessibilidade ao serviço de saúde pública no bairro Lago Azul em Manaus - Amazonas

Abstract

In the endeavor to unveil the reality of accessibility to the public healthcare system in the Lago Azul neighborhood, the research focuses on seeking a comprehensive understanding of the scenario. Through the application of the dialectical method, exploratory research, and interviews with the community and healthcare professionals, the intent is to discern if the population receives assistance in a complete manner and if the contingent of healthcare professionals is sufficient. The obtained results suggest that, although there is access to services, it is limited, with non-comprehensive coverage. Additionally, the scarcity of professionals is evident, incapable of fully meeting the local demand. This ongoing account aims not only to highlight the existing gaps in the system but also to explore solutions to strengthen community health. By emphasizing these deficiencies, it also aspires to contribute to a deeper understanding of shortcomings and, consequently, foster qualitative improvements in the healthcare system, such as effective distribution of resources and healthcare professionals to peripheral regions in other locations.
