BRAZIL
COVID-19
Rio de Janeiro
- medical attention -

José Lobo
Deputy coordinator of MSF activities in Rio de Janeiro

00: 00: 05: 03 - 00: 00: 08: 21
Rio de Janeiro has some specificities in each zone.

LETTERING:
Vaz Lobo, North Zone

00: 00: 08: 22 - 00: 00: 11: 19
Although this zone here is not one of the ‘hotspots’,

00: 00: 11: 21 - 00: 00: 14: 06
it's not one of the areas with the highest incidence of COVID-19,

00: 00: 14: 16 - 00: 00: 17: 12
it's still an area that we are very concerned about

00: 00: 17: 13 - 00: 00: 21: 01
because it doesn't have much access to health care.

LETTERING:

Lia Gomes
Health promotion coordinator for activities in Rio de Janeiro

00: 00: 21: 22 - 00: 00: 26: 09
We see older people concerned with their health.

00: 00: 26: 10 - 00: 00: 31: 12
Not necessarily people in the risk group, but people between 40 and 50 years old.

00: 00: 31: 13 - 00: 00: 36: 05
Young people have a mentality that they will not catch it.

00: 00: 37: 06 - 00: 00: 41: 20
In general, there is also a sense of denial among the homeless.

00: 00: 41: 22 - 00: 00: 44: 07
We're seeing that a lot.

00:00:22 – 00:00:23

LETTERING:

Ana Maria Amorim
MSF Doctor

That is very hard. They deny it.

00: 00: 47: 01 - 00: 00: 49: 22
They have significant signs that they’ve got COVID-19

00: 00: 50: 00 - 00: 00: 53: 18
and say “No, it's not COVID-19. This is not coronavirus. Not me”.

00: 00: 55: 06 - 00: 00: 57: 19
Fear. A lot of fear.

00: 00: 59: 09 - 00: 01: 01: 04
They have difficulties at all levels,

00: 01: 01: 05 - 00: 01: 04: 07
starting with not being able to isolate. They don’t have the conditions for isolation.

00: 01: 05: 02 - 00: 01: 07: 04
They say, “but how am I going to do that?”

00: 01: 07: 05 - 00: 01: 08: 11
I just saw someone.

00: 01: 08: 12 - 00: 01: 11: 03
“I came so I can be hospitalised” he said.

00: 01: 11: 04 - 00: 01: 13: 23
It was a very mild case and he said, “I came to be hospitalised”.

00: 01: 14: 00 - 00: 01: 20: 02
“Because where I live, I live with my cousin, with my brother-in-law’s son...”

00: 01: 20: 18 - 00: 01: 23: 06
So, that situation is the first one, that of mild cases.

00: 01: 23: 08 - 00: 01: 26: 15
As for non-mild cases, the moderate and severe ones,

00: 01: 26: 16 - 00: 01: 31: 20
they have already gone to other healthcare services,

00: 01: 31: 21 - 00: 01: 35: 06
such as emergency care units and family clinics,

00: 01: 35: 22 - 00: 01: 41: 15
and were possibly screened, then sent back home

00: 01: 41: 16 - 00: 01: 45: 05
without much chance of further assistance or hospitalisation.

LETTERING:

In Brazil, the public health system is universal. However, it's being stretched to its limit and, in Rio de Janeiro, has already collapsed.

Among the general population, the poorest and most vulnerable are the ones with the highest chance of being left without assistance.
