Abstract

The present work aims to know the perception of the professionals of the multidisciplinary team about the activities performed in health services at the Ana Maria Do Couto May Prison, through a qualitative approach, using content analysis techniques, established thematic categories. It was verified that the multidisciplinary health team is made up of professionals with mostly higher education in the health area, with a mean age of 38.88 years, all with effective ties in the State, whose health actions focus on the Disease, emergency and individual care, and little in the health-disease process, with the prevention of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, hepatitis and STD / AIDS. It was identified as difficulties, scarcity of conditions and safety / human resources for quality care for health care. Inadequate infrastructure, insecurity (physical), coupled with the insufficient number of health and safety professionals to carry out the actions in the care of the victim, thus offering, improving the physical and mental health of people in deprivation of liberty. Legislation and practice a contradiction when it comes to health care of the prisoner, the laws that ensure this right, leave in practice a large gap for the realization of the right to health of prisoners. This context can only be modified through the involvement of Health and Justice, through intersectoriality, allowing access to health actions and services that aim to reduce the damages and injuries, often caused by the conditions of confinement. It is necessary to implement the health policy in force in the country to promote the health of persons deprived of their liberty, besides being a responsibility of the State, it represents a mission and a challenge for health professionals and citizens who believe in an excluded society.
