Experiências vivenciadas em atendimentos de medicina e enfermagem do SUS: reflexões sobre acesso e atenção à saúde de migrantes internacionais
Abstract
Objective: To present the obstacles encountered by international migrants, in access and assistance in health services. Experience report: The experiences reported were lived by undergraduate students, from Medicine and Nursing courses at a University Hospital and in the UBS of a city of Minas Gerais. The consultations allowed us to identify three points that deserve to be highlighted, namely: communication failures as a two-way street (professional-user); loss of autonomy in health decision-making processes (mainly for women) and, inability with cultural skills on the part of professionals, which can impact on the promotion, prevention and protection of health. Final considerations: In addition to access, the quality of health services provided to international migrants is questioned, with regard to the demands presented and their resolution. Actions such as specific public policies for international migrants, hiring them in health services, changes in the training process for health professionals, for the insertion of cultural skills and professional training, seem to us to be good possibilities as mechanisms for joint coping to ensure that human rights are fulfilled without distinction of nationality, in particular, the universal right to health, the focus of this manuscript.
