    Abstract The gap between health needs and the training of human resources for health is much more evident in rural areas. In Brazil, a country of continental dimensions, these differences become more challenging. The diversity of geographical and administrative barriers to access makes the health indicators of rural and remote populations worse than those of the urban population. Family Medicine could address the social determinants of health through the provision of human services and play an important role in low-income rural residents’ health status. This essay is an urgent call for the debate on models for projecting heath workforce supply and requirements for rural areas in Brazil.

    Abstract Abstract INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 emerged in late 2019 and quickly became a serious public health problem worldwide. This study aim to describe the epidemiological course of cases and deaths due to COVID-19 and their impact on hospital bed occupancy rates in the first 45 days of the epidemic in the state of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil. METHODS: The study used an ecological design with data gathered from multiple government and health care sources. Data were analyzed using Epi Info software. RESULTS: The first cases were confirmed on March 15, 2020. After 45 days, 37,268 cases reported in 85.9% of Ceará’s municipalities, with 1,019 deaths. Laboratory test positivity reached 84.8% at the end of April, a period in which more than 700 daily tests were processed. The average age of cases was 67 (<1 - 101) years, most occurred in a hospital environment (91.9%), and 58% required hospitalization in an ICU bed. The average time between the onset of symptoms and death was 18 (1 - 56) days. Patients who died in the hospital had spent an average of six (0 - 40) days hospitalized. Across Ceará, the bed occupancy rate reached 71.3% in the wards and 80.5% in the ICU. CONCLUSIONS: The first 45 days of the COVID-19 epidemic in Ceará revealed a large number of cases and deaths, spreading initially among the population with a high socioeconomic status. Despite the efforts by the health services and social isolation measures the health system still collapsed.

  3. Article ; Online: Como garantir o direito à saúde para as populações do campo, da floresta e das águas no Brasil?

    Abstract RESUMO A reestruturação produtiva, nas últimas décadas, gerou grandes mudanças na zona rural brasileira, destacando-se a reprimarização da economia, que provocaram conflitos pela terra e água entre o Estado, o capital e as populações rurais, acarretando doenças, mortes, violência, contaminação ambiental e riscos à saúde humana. Este ensaio objetivou problematizar a situação de saúde das populações do campo, da floresta e das águas, os desafios e as estratégias adotadas para garantir o direito à saúde. A Estratégia Saúde da Família, como porta de entrada das pessoas no SUS, ainda apresenta diversos problemas relativos à sua implantação, como: pior desempenho em áreas rurais; a territorialização que ainda não se faz na perspectiva dos espaços sociossanitários de maior risco; e apresenta fragilidade na participação social. O acesso dessas populações ao SUS requer articulação de saberes e experiências de planejamento e avaliação permanentes das ações intersetoriais, bem como das responsabilidades e informações compartilhadas, a fim de alcançar a atenção à saúde com qualidade e integralidade. Exige também um processo ágil de educação permanente dos trabalhadores de saúde e de educação popular, com uma proposta nova e diferenciada, rompendo com a lógica curativista e que considere as especificidades da influência da determinação social da saúde.
