Abstract:

The article addresses the working conditions in health in the context of the pandemic in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study that used datathe surveys “Working conditions of health professionals in the context of COVID-19 in Brazil” and “Invisible health workers: working conditions and mental health in the context of COVID-19 in Brazil”, aiming to know the working conditions and biosafety of these two distinct and socially unequal professional contingents. Data analysis proves that working conditions were extremely affected due to inadequate infrastructure, strenuous work, biosecurity at risk, exhaustion, fear of contamination and death, strong signs of physical and mental exhaustion among workers. It also points out to discrimination and inequalities of social rights and professional development that mark the worlds of work pointed out in the surveys, emphasizing the profound inequalities that exist in Brazil and in its regions. It concludes by showing the importance of formulating public policies within the scope of work management in the SUS that ensure the protection, appreciation and reduction of inequalities pointed out in the article.
