ABSTRACT: This paper studied
pre-natal black teenager girls in a public hospital in Santos, state of Sao
Paulo, Brazil. We discussed the strategies of the professional staff members,
and the conceptions of reproductive and sexual health for teenagers. We
noticed, among other things that medical records had not been completely
filled, the item color had subdivisions, total lack of familiarity with public
policies directed toward the Black population, and some discrete signs of
institutional racism. We considered that specific attention to black teens was
not given during work as part of a public policy; the lack of medical
prevention leads to a referral hospital that does not articulate, on triage, the
integral health policy for the Black population, the institutional care and
equity.
