POLÍTICA DE SAÚDE DA POPULAÇÃO NEGRA, SERVIÇO SOCIAL E RACISMO INSTITUCIONAL

Abstract

The article is structured from the interpretation of the National Policy for the Comprehensive Health of the Black Population (“PNSIPN”), highlighting its relevance in the construction of political strategies that contribute to the fight against institutional racism in Brazil. In this context, the objective of the article is to show how the discussion of this health policy, of its form of operation, introduces essential elements against the fragilities and inequalities that revoke the access of the black population to public health services. Thus, this article uses bibliographic and documental research as a methodology with a historical and qualitative approach, using the categories of the historical-dialectical method. As a result, the articulation of this policy intertwines with the answers offered by the Social Service in the debate of the ethnic-racial issue, in a permanent search for an anti-racist culture and which reveals an important strategy for the promotion and guarantee of the right to health of the black population.
