0123/2022 - (DES) CAMINHOS NA GARANTIA DA SAÚDE DA POPULAÇÃO NEGRA E NO ENFRENTAMENTO AO RACISMO NO BRASIL WAYS AND DETOURS IN THE GARANTEE OF HEALTH FOR THE BLACK POPULATION AND THE CONFRONTATION OF RACISM IN BRAZIL
O racismo institucional impera nos serviços de saúde no Brasil fundado em relações concretas de poder que subjugam, dominam e excluem negros/as do adequado acesso aos serviços e instituições de saúde. Este ensaio crítico analisa a importância da ampliação do debate e da produção do conhecimento sobre a saúde da população negra (SPN), focando em dois pontos: o papel da Política Nacional de Saúde Integral da População Negra (PNSIPN) e a importância da inserção do quesito cor nos sistemas de informação em saúde; e a necessidade de um processo de formação permanente dos/as profissionais, inserindo conteúdos relacionados à compreensão do racismo como um dos elementos de determinação social de saúde/doença e seus efeitos. Para demonstrar como o racismo estrutural e institucional tem afetado a população negra, trazemos também exemplos das populações quilombolas no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19 no país a partir de 2020. Conclui-se que a promoção do cuidado, a redução das iniquidades e a qualidade da atenção à saúde precisam passar por mudanças em várias dimensões como o fortalecimento do SUS, o combate cotidiano ao racismo estrutural e institucional, o aprimoramento da educação permanente de profissionais de saúde, o debate aberto sobre o racismo que opera nos serviços de saúde, e a ampliação substancial e visibilização da produção científica sobre a SPN.

Abstract:
The institutional racism prevalent in the health services in Brazil is based on concrete power relations which subdue, dominate, and exclude the Black populationaccessing health services and institutions. This critical essay analyzes the importance of amplifying the debate and knowledge production about the health of the Black population (SPN) focusing on two points: the role of the National Policy for the Integral Health of the Black Population (PNSIPN) and the importance of ion of the color question in the health information systems; and the need for permanent training of professionals, including contents related to the understanding of racism as a social determinant of health/disease, and its effects. To demonstrate how structural and institutional racism has affected the Black population, we bring also examplesthe quilombola populations during the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, starting in 2020. It is concluded that the promotion of care, reduction of health inequities, and the quality of health care need to undergo changes in several dimensions such as the strengthening of SUS, the fight against institutional and structural racism, the improvement of permanent education for health professionals, the open debate about racism in the health services, and the substantial expansion and visibility of the scientific production about SPN.
