Social Work and the Rights of Palliative Oncology Patients of Brazil
The Social Service operates in the field of social policies, with the objective of making access to the population's rights and the exercise of citizenship viable. In the area of health, social workers base their actions on the commitment to enable the participation and social control of users in order to implement social protection policies in the country. It is crucial that health professionals have a more critical perception about social determinants that are strongly expressed in the illness of the SUS user population. In this context, this chapter provides a brief reflection on the organization of the rights and benefits provided to cancer patients whose role as a social worker reaffirms their commitment to the extension of the integral and universal right to health.

Abstract:
The Social Service operates in the field of social policies, with the objective of making access to the population's rights and the exercise of citizenship viable. In the area of health, social workers base their actions on the commitment to enable the participation and social control of users in order to implement social protection policies in the country. It is crucial that health professionals have a more critical perception about social determinants that are strongly expressed in the illness of the SUS user population. In this context, this chapter provides a brief reflection on the organization of the rights and benefits provided to cancer patients whose role as a social worker reaffirms their commitment to the extension of the integral and universal right to health.
