Análise do enfrentamento às doenças crônicas no município de Fortaleza a partir dos centros especializados de atenção ao diabético e hipertenso

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the work of the City Hall of Fortaleza in addressing chronic diseases, from the implementation of specialized Centers for Diabetic and Hypertensive Care. For this, it is part of a contextualization about the public health system and the epidemiological context of the country, in which chronic conditions are highlighted as an object of great relevance. Consequently, the perspectives inherent to the study of public policies as a research area will be portrayed, in addition to its associations with the theory of health policies of a continuous nature. The results, in turn, will be based on the analysis of reports of indicators prepared by the Municipal Health Department of Fortaleza. Thus, it is expected to understand, from the established analysis, that the implementation of the CEADH as a public health policy constitutes the validation and practice of the nationally instituted guidelines on the management and appropriate treatment of chronic diseases within the Unified Health System, emphasizing the relevance of the longitudinal character of this section of public policies. Finally, it is worth mentioning that this is a qualitative research, of bibliographic nature, which uses a documentary and strategic analysis to interpretation of secondary data.
