Abstract:

The arboviroses, especially those transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, have become a serious public health problem in Brazil. In order to analyze how sanitation is addressed in guiding instruments of public policies to control arboviroses in the country, a content analysis was performed on eight governmental reference documents. As a result, it was possible to identify that aspects related to communication and social mobilization, vector control, and management are the themes most addressed in the documents analyzed. On the other hand, the components of basic sanitation, especially rainwater management and drainage, and sanitary sewage, are not addressed in the instruments. Intersectoriality is mentioned, however, there are no specific proposals that point to and ensure its implementation. The Ministry of Health\'s National Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Dengue Epidemics is the most complete document on the subject. We conclude that basic sanitation is not sufficiently addressed in the instruments for confronting arboviroses, which can contribute to the low effectiveness of public intervention and that, therefore, this contradiction needs to be overcome by public policies in Brazil.
