RIGHT TO HEALTH, SOCIAL VULNERABILITY AND THE TRANSITION OF HUMAN CARE: A LEGAL-INTERDISCIPLINARY ANALYSIS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC POLICIES
Abstract
This study is characterized as a reflective literature review, qualitative in nature and theoretical-analytical in character, aiming to reflect on human care in transition processes, analyzing how social vulnerability, subjectivity, micropolitics, and continuity of care intertwine in the construction of ethical, sensitive, and integrative practices in the field of health and law. The reflection showed that the transition of human care transcends the technical dimension, integrating actions that promote mutual recognition, presence, solidarity, and social justice. Social vulnerability emerges as a determining factor, conditioning access, adherence, and effectiveness of health practices, making it essential for professionals to adopt strategies that consider social determinants and intersectionality. Furthermore, the micropolitics of care and attention to the daily routine of services prove fundamental for establishing bonds, strengthening trust, and ensuring continuity of care, promoting participatory and emancipatory therapeutic processes. The results indicate that humanized, interdisciplinary, and ethically guided practices allow care to be an instrument of resistance and social reconstruction, reaffirming health as a universal right. From a legal standpoint, this study discusses the effectiveness of the fundamental right to health, as enshrined in Articles 6 and 196 of the 1988 Federal Constitution, analyzing how social vulnerability imposes concrete obstacles to its full realization. It concludes that the transition to broader and more humanized care depends not only on changes in health practices, but also on a robust legal and institutional framework, mechanisms of justiciability, and intersectoral public policies that operationalize the principles of human dignity, equity, and comprehensiveness of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). It further concludes that the integration of vulnerability, subjectivity, micropolitics, and continuity of care constitutes a central axis for building broader, sensitive, and truly comprehensive care within the Unified Health System.
