Abstract
The black population experiences discrimination in health units, both as users and health professionals. These actions increase the vulnerability of these groups, the distance to access, leading to evasion, and favor institutional racism to manifest itself through impediments to access preventive or healing benefits of treatments and medicines made available by public health policies. Based on this scenario, a narrative, bibliographic and non-systematic review was carried out, in order to highlight the main moments of this trajectory with regard to the implementation of public policies, legislation and reflections of decolonial researchers, and especially the implementation of the National Policy on Comprehensive Health of the Black Population. The review consisted of searching for technical and institutional documents in the area in national databases, in addition to legal documents, as well as unconventional and non-commercial or semi-published documents (gray literature). This study highlights the need to provide real guarantees to ensure the participation of the black population, making it possible to make inequalities visible. It seeks to contribute in order to propose changes in the quality of comprehensive health management for the black population and other measures to repair this situation in the struggle to conquer and guarantee rights.
