Desafios da gestão em saúde em tempos de pandemia

Abstract

The pandemic by the new coronavirus and the humanitarian crisis caused has taken on drastic proportions in Brazil and worldwide. Thus, the objective is to describe the experience experienced in a private hospital in times of pandemic. This work consists of an experience report, which presents the challenges and strategies used by the management of a private hospital not referred to covid-19, in the city of Uberlandia-MG, from March 2020 to January 2021. In the course of the report, it is addressed about the economic challenges faced by management; the issue of the physical and mental health of health professionals, given the risk of contagion, exhaustion and psychological stress; the suffering of family members for the isolation of the patient and the need for humanized care; and preventive measures taken to contain the virus. Thus, it aims to broaden the discussion on the subject through the experiences reported and highlight the importance of developing strategies for the better adaptation of professionals in the current context.
