Geografia da saúde: a regionalização da saúde na região de Carajás e a relevência de Marabá – PA

Abstract

The Unified Health System, consolidated in the Federal Constitution of 1988, has as main objective to guarantee the population access to good quality healthcare without restrictions. The SUS aims to reduce social and territorial inequalities for the entire population on Brazilian soil and it is with this aim that this Government program uses the concept of region and regionalization to put its objectives into practice, where the main agent for carrying out this work is the Brazilian municipalities and states. Therefore, the objective of this work is to show, through the analysis of data from the HMI and HMM hospitals for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, the importance of the municipality of Marabá for the region based on the comparison of the Carajás Region with the other regions of the state of Pará. To prepare this work, data from the Information Technology Department of the Unified Health System – DATASUS was used together with Cartography to transmit information about hospital admissions. At the end of the work, it was possible to verify that the influence of marabá in terms of health goes beyond what is delimited by the health region of Carajás.
