Abstract
The aim is to understand the health needs of a quilombola community in the interior of Bahia. This is research, of an exploratory and cross-sectional nature, with a qualitative and analytical-descriptive approach, based on the Theories of Social Representations and Collective Memory. Carried out with 24 elderly people who lived in a Quilombo Remnant Community in the interior of Bahia. A questionnaire was applied with Sociodemographic and Health data, and other with Semi-structured Interview. The Bardin Content Analysis technique and the IRAMUTEQ computational tool were used. It was learned that the perception of the people interviewed regarding health needs in the community and with regard to access to medical assistance, exams and medicines, permeates a weakened understanding regarding the structuring guidelines of the Unified Health System, since the reality of these communities goes through basic difficulties in access to primary health care.
