Abstract:

Ensuring democracy in the constitution of the Global Health field requires the inclusion of health perspectives and actions of what is conventionally called \"local\". Approaching the references of the Meeting of Knowledges to that of Coloniality, we address the implementation of Solidarity Quitandas by initiative of artisanal fishermen in the South of Bahia, in facing socioeconomic and health issues related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The triangulation of methods characterized the fieldwork, based on ethnography, action research and partnership with local agents in the analysis of the material. The search for simultaneously sanitary, socioeconomic, environmental and educational effects made it possible to overcome the risks present in GH actions such as humanitarianism, controlism, neoliberalism and colonialism. The initiative was managed by the political organization of the residents of the reserve, who raised and managed State and civil society resources with autonomy and solidarity, combining traditional knowledge with institutional and technological knowledge of the territory. So-called local experiences contain a complete vision of the world that should not be submitted to a totalizing category. Global Health can benefitconsideration of the various worlds that constitute its object.
