HEALTH EQUITY AND SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY: Cultural Competence And Psychosocial Care For Originary People in Urban Context In Rio de Janeiro/Brazil

That`s a historic description of primary health care activities from 2008 to 2025 dedicated to mature and elderly indigenous people located in an urban context in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, based on the National Health Policy (NHP). Due to the pluralistic constitution of the country, it was specifically separated as Comprehensive Health Care. A collective and cooperative construction of knowledge was carried out through the Traditional Knowledge from their territories. In parallel, intercultural health education was developed for undergraduate students by the Laboratory for Studies of Aging Processes of the Postgraduate Program in Psychosocial Care of the Institute of Psychiatry of the University of Brazil of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), in an intersectoral, interuniversity, and interdisciplinary partnership. The work developed turned into a qualitative research on Covid-19, authorized by the National Research Commission (CONEP). After, methodology of intergenerational meetings was adopted. As a result, this experience represents the potential of an innovative, simple, inexpensive, and efficient educational practice to address complex health content that is significant to their cultures. Intercultural cooperation correspond to a contemporary global demand to peoples of movement across territories. NHP seeks to create conditions for access to healthcare considering the sociocultural and epidemiological specificities of the Brazilian population. Extensive material produced collaboratively are available by the public university. They felt respected and empowered in an urban environment. Young people advanced towards academic training, aware of their leadership roles in the 21st century. As conclusion, implementation of Public Policies requires intersectoral actions aimed at mitigating prejudice, fear in the face of different cultures and clinical situations that are not yet well understood in epidemiology. This represents one of the roles played by psychosocial care, environmental immunology, environmental ethics and social technology as effectives dimensions of human rights, at continuous construction to a healthy society.
