Abstract:

This essay elucidates the notions of Health Care and Intersectionality to prompt contemplation on the interaction between healthcare professionals and individuals referred to here as Nanás: elderly, poor, and Black women, who represent a historically marginalized demographic throughout Brazilian history. By delving into the arguments about the concept of Intersectionality and the multifaceted dimensions of Care, it becomes apparent that there is a pressing need to broaden the perspective on women who access healthcare services, as they are inherently shaped by their life experiences. Moreover, it is imperative to acknowledge how the intersecting factors inherent in their profiles can influence the approach taken by those providing Care. This underscores the essentiality of an intersectional agency on the part of the agents involved in this encounter, namely the Nanás and healthcare workers, to effectively uphold the principles of integrality and equity within the Unified Health System (SUS).
