O direito à saúde dos povos indígenas e o paradigma do reconhecimento / The right to health of indigenous peoples and the paradigm of recognition

Abstract

The health of indigenous peoples in Brazil is provided through a subsystem within the Unified Health System (SUS) and the Ministry of Health. However, due to the paradigm of recognition and the analytical guidelines of the counter-hegemonic multiculturalism, the right to health must be granted in an intercultural way. This article, therefore, examines the difficulties of interaction between institutional and intercultural aspects. Keywords: indigenous peoples
