Saneamento e suas repercussões para a saúde: estudo de caso nas microáreas 04 e 20 do município de Gado Bravo - PB.

Abstract

This study has as its main theme sanitation and its repercussions for health, amidst a needy population that lacks basic services. Inadequate sanitation directly affects the lives of people who live in unhealthy environments. The incidence of diseases in the environment without basic sanitation is greater than people living in clean environments, lack of garbage collection, sewage and water for the entire population will result in environmental problems that directly affect the lives of the existing population. In areas of low-income population as is the case of this study, where the great majority of people live from the benefits of the federal government with precarious access to water, there is little alternative to the use of water which are artesian wells, claypits and public cisterns that are supplied by the army, because there are few homes that have private cisterns. Thus, this research aims to analyze and compare the situation of the sanitation and the way of life in two microareas, 04 and 20 served by the Family Health Strategy (ESF) in the municipality of Gado Bravo – PB. For the execution of the research we used data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Information System of Primary Care (SIAB), to better understand the situation of the basic sanitation.
