This article aims to analyze the difficulties of the riverside population in the State of Amazonas regarding access to health and other problems caused by the inefficiency of basic sanitation in the region. The method developed was the hypothetical-deductive that seeks to construct or reaffirm hypotheses and conjectures under the analysis of the author Amartya Sen, recognizing facts and selecting relevant factors to demonstrate the importance of the human development of traditional peoples for the achievement of a dignified life, in regions that are more remote or difficult to reach. Bibliographical analysis, case law and the consultation of reports on the Amazon region were also used. The application of this theme makes it possible to study regional development and to rethink public policies for access to health, such as reducing social inequality and controlling epidemiological diseases.
