- Abstract
Faced with socioeconomically unequal societies, the health-disease process is influenced by social vulnerabilities that make it difficult for the population to access health. This demand becomes even more marked when the racial aspect is added to the analysis, since the black population occupies a historically marginalized social position, being immersed in a cycle of structural racism that neglects and steals rights. This context is very evident in high population contingents and marked by social inequality, as in the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes - PE, where the percentage of residents with an income less than half the minimum wage is 45.42%, a number higher than the average percentage of the metropolitan region of Recife (41.91%), according to DATASUS. As to other social conditions that influence the health of the population, Jaboatão dos Guararapes is the second city in the Metropolitan Region with the largest number of households without sanitary installation (1771 dwellings) and without running water (154,873 dwellings); besides being the first city in the metropolitan region in the ranking of those that discard most garbage in wasteland and public places (8,691 dwellings dispose of garbage incorrectly). According to the Secretary of Planning and Management of the State of Pernambuco (most recent data - year 2010), regarding the illiteracy rate, Jaboatão has an average (8.61) higher than the average of the Metropolitan Region (8.47). What, then, would be the spaces occupied by the health of the black and poor citizen in the face of these social demands of the city? It is possible to note, through questions such as this, that the discussion responsible for relating race, inequality and access to health becomes more and more necessary, because this agenda is capable of bringing to Medicine a holistic look that allows to understand the patient as a whole, within the social absences that surround it.
