Abstract:

The objective of this study is to analyze the needs of the health service after the dam collapse disaster in Brumadinho/MGthe perspective of managers and professionals. This is a qualitative methodological research approach, based on 26 interviews guided by a semi-structured script. The data were processed using the content analysis technique and the interpretation mediated by the theoretical-methodological framework of hermeneutic anthropology. The study showed that both the process of obtaining compensation and its materialization had a major impact on the health service, both in terms of the emergence of new health demands and the work overload of professionals who had to mediate situations beyond their attributions, involving porous limits of agreements and negotiations between the population and the company responsible for the disaster. The analysis shows the need to develop and equate strategies that consider the guarantee of rights without compromising the health and quality of life of all those affected: those who care and those who are cared for. It is expected that the results presented can support surveillance actions, health care and future risk management in similar contexts.
