Abstract

ResumoObjetivo: avaliar o Sistema de Vigilância Epidemiológica (SVE) da esquistossomose nos municípios de Antônio Cardoso e Catu, estado da Bahia, Brasil. Métodos: avaliação realizada em 2004, contemplou os determinantes contextuais para a implementação da intervenção, estrutura e processo do SVE da esquistossomose, utilizando, como estratégia de pesquisa, o estudo de caso; para coleta dos dados, foram empregados os roteiros para avaliação de sistemas de vigilância dos Centros de Controle e Prevenção de Doenças dos Estados Unidos da América, além de questionários para análise do contexto, estrutura e processo. Resultados: os resultados indicam um SVE fragmentado, individualizado e não priorizado pelos gestores locais. Conclusão: é necessário um trabalho integrado entre os funcionários da Vigilância Epidemiológica e outros setores da Saúde, especialmente a Atenção Básica, de retroalimentação do SVE e reestruturação do Programa de Vigilância e Controle da Esquistossomose.Palavras-chave: Esquistossomose; Esquistossomose Mansoni; Descentralização; Vigilância Epidemiológica; Avaliação de Programas e Projetos de Saúde.
