Utopia interditada: APS como antídoto contra a desdemocratização e a necropolítica neoliberal

“…Não é possível desconhecer, por fim, toda uma literatura acerca do papel da APS na resposta brasileira aos processos contemporâneos de vulnerabilização que se impõem às populações específicas, como, por exemplo, pessoas em situação de rua, refugiadas ou vivendo com HIV [24][25][26][27] . Todas as pesquisas citadas jogam luz ao fato de que o Estado brasileiro vinha -mormente no contexto dos governos pós-neoliberais -investindo em garantir a mitigação dos efeitos deletérios das iniquidades estruturais por meio da capilarização da ESF nos mais diversos territórios do País, com alcance a quem mais precisa.…”
