Assistência integral a saúde dos prisioneiros: uma reflexão

Abstract

This is a reflection on the challenges faced by prisoners in Soledad State Prison / RS to seek access to health care networks. The aim was to reflect on prisoners' rights to public health policies. In practice, we observe that this law is neglected. Health is everyone's right and duty of the state, guaranteed through social and economic policies aimed at reducing the risk of disease and other health problems and the universal and equal access to programs and services for its promotion, protection and recovery. It is vital to ensure the rights of access to health, but its execution lacks adequate sensitivity and humane attention toward prisoners, because they are citizens who are part of society and must be met by health services that seeks to include public policy guaranteed in various laws.
