Abstract:

This case study analyzed arrangements and strategies of the network actors in the Special Indigenous Sanitary District (DSEI) Pernambuco’s territory to guarantee the right to health of indigenous in the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was carried out through document analysis, workshops and field research. The Contingency Plan for COVID-19 in Indigenous Peoples of DSEI Pernambuco included surveillance actions, laboratory and pharmaceutical assistance, communication and management. With the modeling of this document, it was noticed that actions aimed at local specificities were not integrated: in its initial design,the national level, indigenous leaders weren’t heard for the adequacy of this plan. On the other hand, the actions of these leaders and their mobilization to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on the population stands out. Contextual factors were cited as facilitators and obstacles to the implementation of the plan; the local sociotechnical network mapping also made it possible to identify strategic actors and actants in face of the COVID-19 pandemic and verify their performance or ineffectiveness. The findings of this study reflect recurrent problems in the organization of the indigenous health system, whether specific to this region or national.
