Acesso à saúde em populações marginalizadas: a população trans na saúde básica no Brasil

Abstract

This review aims to assess the situation of access to health care in marginalized populations, with a focus on the LGBTQIA+ population, especially the trans population, which is shown to be the most vulnerable and the most marginalized of the acronym. Articles were collected within the data base Academic Google, Scielo and Pubmed using the key-words “LGBTQIA+ people”, “transgender” and “primary health care”, in the search for the prejudice and the obstacles faced by this population when seeking health care, as well as public policies regarding this people. The electronic research occurred between the years of 2022 and 2023. What was found was the negligence towards these people, coming from the health providers, filled with judgements and prejudice, in addition to the failure on the primary care facilities to welcome this population. The disrespect to the social names of these people was recurrent in the literature which demonstrates the failure on the application of the existing public policies, as well as the need to produce knowledge regarding the access to health for these populations, so that, thus, their marginalization is understood and reduced.
