Abstract

The woman, especially the black woman, is in a situation of vulnerability in the economic, social, cultural and health issues. For a comprehensive care of this population, the health professional needs to be qualified, to guide the women to adopt preventive and health promotion behaviors. This study aimed to describe the importance of training the health professional to provide qualified care to black women. The lower access to health services and the delay in the diagnosis / treatment of certain conditions prevalent in black women, conditioned by the situation of vulnerability caused by factors such as racism, gender and class inequality, needs to raise awareness among the population and professionals inter-ethnic differences and their impact on health, as well as the formulation and execution of educational activities that generate changes and promote equitable practices in the Unified Health System (SUS).
