Gestão das ações do setor saúde em situações de seca e estiagem

Abstract: Resumo A água é essencial para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico de um território e, também, para sobrevivência do ser humano. A escassez hídrica causa impactos diretos e indiretos sobre o ambiente, a economia e a saúde humana, podendo alterar o perfil de morbidade e mortalidade das doenças, além de impactar a oferta de serviços públicos essenciais à qualidade de vida. Este estudo visa contextualizar a ocorrência de estiagem e seca no Brasil, os efeitos à saúde humana, bem como ações a serem desenvolvidas pelo … Show more

“…In this context droughts can occur combined with other environmental events, and these phenomena can mutually strengthen one another through positive feedbacks [56][57][58] and cause notable impacts on health [35,59]. It has been described that high temperatures, dust, and poor air quality are common during drought conditions [60]. Moreover, warmer temperatures and ultraviolet radiation have been also often associated with increases in ground-level ozone [10,59], which, in consequence, could highly compromise cardiovascular and pulmonary health in the exposed population [15,[61][62][63][64].…”

“…Water scarcity during this period affected the water levels, caused serious social problems, and affected industry, agriculture, and the operation of basic institutions, such as hospitals and schools 2223 The sustained reduction of water reserves in the state for an extended period affected millions of people and altered the routines of health services and infrastructures 24. According to the document Natural Disasters and Health in Brazil,25 the low rainfall index affected the quantity and quality of the water consumed by the population through eutrophication and algal blooms from catchment sources, intrusion of salt water into groundwater supplies, and biological contamination and chemical accumulation in the soil 24…”

“…, 23 The sustained reduction of water reserves in the state for an extended period affected millions of people and altered the routines of health services and infrastructures 24.

“…De acordo com Grigoletto et al (2016), apesar da seca advir de eventos climatológicos, seus impactos dependem da vulnerabilidade das regiões e pessoas atingidas. Ou seja, ela causa maiores impactos em regiões pobres ou em desenvolvimento, onde os fatores determinantes de saúde (ambientes cômodos, acesso à informação, tratamentos e oportunidades) já se encontram comprometidos.…”
