Description
Primary Health Care (PHC), in the traditional model or in different
organizational formats, such as the Family Health Strategy, represents an important alternative for quality care to workers’ health, especially for the most vulnerable. The basic guiding principles of PHC, in search of a comprehensive basic health care1 are: the capillarity and organization of a territorial base, with attribution of health responsibility to a multidisciplinary team of health workers, doctors, nurses, dentists, technical and administrative staff and community health agents, usually residents of the community, who form the link between the health team and the population. It is up to this team to follow, in a longitudinal way, individuals and families who live and/or work in a geographical and sociocultural space. The team’s work begins with the characterization of the population registered in the territory, including workers and pro-
ductive activities developed in the territory, the situational diagnosis necessary for planning health actions. The relationship between work and people’s health-disease, particularly workers, results from the organization of production processes for the generation of goods, technologies and services, based on society’s wealth and well-being, even if unequally distributed. Currently, the processes of productive restructuring and globalization of the economy on a planetary scale, result from the massive incorporation of technologies and communications, and modify people’s ways of life, values, beliefs and behaviors. However, high-tech processes coexist with archaic, physically strenuous, dangerous, dirty and polluting work, to ensure maximum accumulation or profit, with increased social exclusion, structural unemployment, informal and precarious work. Work, which should favor health, the construction of subjectivity and social inclusion, causes
suffering, disease and death and environmental degradation. In
neoliberalism, the social protection of citizens and workers guar-
anteed by the State is diluted in different ways of hiring work, fragmented, precarious relationships, outsourcing of activities,
seasonal work and work at home in all productive sectors, even in the big economic ones. ventures such as agribusiness, mining, civil construction, and is dramatic in the service sector; compounded by restrictions on Social Security and labor protection. The "feminization" of work, marked by new forms of work, low wages and precarious conditions, is expressed in the expansion of the female presence in the labor market in Brazil, 54.5% in 2019, even though the accentuation of gender and race inequalities In the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), with universal coverage, PHC is organized in a care network in the country’s 5,852 municipalities and has the potential to provide comprehensive care to workers’ health, with promotion, protection, surveillance and health care actions in integrated manner at the more complex secondary and
tertiary levels, as long as adequate SUS funding is guaranteed, as well as valuation and training and technical and pedagogical support for the teams.
