SUBSISTEMA DE SAÚDE INDÍGENA E SEUS IMPACTOS DURANTE A PANDEMIA DA COVID-19
Abstract
This article analyzes the performance of the Indigenous Health Care Subsystem within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering its role in guaranteeing the right to health for Indigenous peoples in Brazil. The study aimed to evaluate the provision of health services and actions developed by the subsystem during the health emergency. The research adopted an integrative review method, guided by PRISMA 2020, conducted across four databases between April and June 2025, resulting in the inclusion of four studies. The results indicate challenges such as precarious sanitation, overload of support units, and interruption of the longitudinality of care, while highlighting the importance of community strategies and the central role of Indigenous Health Agents. It is concluded that SasiSUS demonstrated strategic relevance in responding to the pandemic, but needs to overcome structural and operational limits to ensure effective comprehensive and intercultural care.
