Abstract
The realization of the right to health of adolescents and young people deprived of their liberty in Brazil is a complex task that places us before health inequities and interventions on their social determinants of health. Therefore, this study sought to contribute to a discussion about the right to health of this population, based on the analysis of the implementation of the Comprehensive Healthcare Policy for Adolescent Offenders (PNAISARI). This is an analytical approach, using documentary analysis of legal frameworks and policy monitoring and evaluation data. In short, the results suggest that the policy strengthens the realization of the right to health of this population. However, its implementation must be promoted and qualified so that access to health care is, in fact, a reality in all states and municipalities.
Highlights
The 1988 Federal Constitution enshrined the principle of absolute priority for the access of children, adolescents and young people to social rights, placing the national legal framework in line with the international perspective of human rights
The ECA considers adolescence as the age group comprised between 12 and years of age, the Ministry of Health adopts parameters of the World Health Organization (WHO), which is the stage of life ranging from10to years
When talking about adolescents’ right to health, in general, a sensitive point is the invisibility of this population in health services, despite the relevance of the Family Health Strategy (ESF) towards adolescent health, within the principles of Unified Health System (SUS)[4,5]
Summary
The 1988 Federal Constitution enshrined the principle of absolute priority for the access of children, adolescents and young people to social rights, placing the national legal framework in line with the international perspective of human rights. Considering the challenge of intersectoriality between sector policies and guaranteeing the right to health of adolescents deprived of their liberty, this study intends to analyze the implementation of the PNAISARI based on changes in its normative framework and the policy monitoring and evaluation tools used by the Ministry of Health.
