Regionalização e determinantes sociais da saúde: análise da região 20, do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

Having as its theme the social determinants of health as characterizing elements of the regional territory, this article aims to identify the main determinants that characterize the health region 20, in Rio Grande do Sul. For this, a descriptive research was carried out, of a predominantly qualitative nature, composed of bibliographic research and data analysis. ). The analyzed data demonstrate that in this territory specific processes of territorial formation stand out, guided by cultural, social and economic heterogeneity. This complexity greatly influences the health conditions of the population, demonstrating the relevance of a regionalization governance movement that is conducted from a planning that includes a deep situational analysis and is able to pay attention to the interfaces and repercussions of the policy of health with the dynamics of regional development.
