CAVAGNOLI, Karen Cristina et al. The Covid-19 pandemic and the health crisis in Rio de Janeiro: discussing biopolitics and precarization. []. , 21, 51, pp.449-462. ISSN 2175-1390.

This article addresses the growing public health crisis experienced by the city of Rio de Janeiro and the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, which aggravated it, as elements of the debate on work in Primary Health Care. It is the result of articulations made by the Teaching Through Work Program (PET) for Interprofessional Health, which aims to induce transformations in undergraduate courses and in health services, focusing on collaboration and interprofessional work. The discussion about financialization and interests surrounding the work in the field of Health shows the perverse face of the modes of government in contemporary capitalism, revealing biopolitics and necropolitics as Unified Health System (SUS) capitulation strategies. In conclusion, the resistance and the power of articulated work as a strategy to fight for health as a social right are highlighted.
