“…Apesar dos avanços, alguns autores apresentam recorrentes disparidades na saúde em comparação à população brasileira não indígena. Essa diferença é observada nos perfis de saúde indígena, nos níveis nacionais e regionais, em uma combinação de fatores socioeconômicos, ambientais e políticos 7,47 . Um dos desafios das Conferências Indígenas é impulsionar a discussão sobre a autonomia dos DSEIs na execução de ações relacionadas à saúde nas aldeias, incentivando a participação da comunidade para melhoria de resultados 7 .…”

Introdução: Os povos indígenas do Brasil compõem um cenário diversificado do ponto de vista cultural. A garantia de assistência à saúde geral e bucal indígena, atualmente, foi estabelecida pelo Subsistema de Atenção à Saúde Indígena, integrado ao Sistema Único de Saúde. Objetivos: Analisar a política de saúde bucal inserida no subsistema de saúde indígena, evidenciando a sua evolução no processo histórico e legal. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório, em que foram consultados decretos, leis e portarias, já com as recentes e respectivas mudanças na legislação. Discussão: Apesar dos avanços, há recorrentes disparidades ao analisarmos a saúde bucal indígena em comparação à população brasileira não indígena. Essa diferença é observada nos perfis de saúde indígena, os quais são relativos aos âmbitos nacionais e regionais, em uma combinação de fatores socioeconômicos, ambientais e políticos. Atualmente, um projeto de lei visa à criação do Instituto Nacional de Saúde Indígena, de modo que pretende simplificar os processos administrativos. Conclusão: A trajetória da saúde bucal indígena brasileira é marcada por dissidências e existem bases jurídicas que garantem o acesso aos cuidados de saúde deste grupo, embora a descontinuidade das políticas impeça a integralidade das ações de saúde bucal.

“…[1] In practice, biomedical health care personnel conceive of Indigenous medicine and culture in essentialist terms, and do not recognize Indigenous agency or the recreation and reinvention of tradition [e.g., 27,28]. Indigenous peoples and their views are "negated or ignored by an offi cial health system that limits itself to a vague ordering of administrative health routines" that is "marked by a high degree of standardization of rigid prescriptive technical norms, whose biomedical character makes them impervious to local contexts and singularities" [e.g., 1,27,29,30,31]. Attempts to build intercultural or intermedical health care have mostly originated from Indigenous actors, and administrators and providers of biomedical care have been uninterested in this integration, consistently dismissing or segregating Indigenous medical knowledge and practices.…”

“…Other scholars of the government's health care system for Indigenous populations in Indigenous territories in Brazil have not explicitly used the "medical mission" model or the STMM literature to interpret the implementation model and its problems [e.g., 1,20,21,27,28,29,30,31]. Such use is an innovation of this article.…”

Underlying premises in medical mission trips for Madiha (Kulina) Indigenous people in the Brazilian Amazon

This article proposes two premises that underlie biomedical health care delivery provided through medical missions to Madiha (Kulina) Indigenous Amazonian people living in forest villages. First, that health care is implemented through a set of detached transferable goods and services. Second, that health is a condition that requires the importation of knowledge and resources. The premises were induced through qualitative research on the Brazilian government’s medical missions that provide biomedical care to Madiha (Kulina) in the southwestern Amazon as part of the national health care system. Despite policy rhetoric, delivery practices disregard embedding health and health care in local infrastructure and cultural conditions. There is little or no collaboration with Indigenous healers, capacity building of the local (Indigenous) health care system, education of resident lay health monitors, or extensive and lasting infrastructural development. The article recommends reorientation of delivery to prioritize local health care infrastructure development.

Articulation between health services and “indigenous medicine”: Anthropological reflections on policies and reality in Brazil

This paper contributes to the dialogue between the social sciences and social medicine in Latin America by exploring therapeutic pluralism in indigenous health policies and services in Brazil. It reviews recent anthropological research, concepts and current debates to critically examine Brazilian indigenous health policy and its concept of "differentiated care," which proposes articulation between official health practices and indigenous therapies. A number of contradictions and tensions are present in the structural organizational of the indigenous health subsystem at the national level and in the daily practices of health teams at the local level. Guided by the hegemonic ideology of biomedicine, health professionals fail to recognize the dynamics and agency expressed in indigenous health practices.
