Resumen en portugues
A deficiência visual, que abrange indivíduos cegos e com baixa visão, é uma das principais deficiências relatadas,
acometendo cerca de 2,2 milhões de pessoas no mundo, das quais mais de dois terços vivem em países de baixa ou
média renda. A pandemia de COVID-19, causada pelo SARS-CoV-2, apresenta-se como um cenário desafiador para essa
população vulnerável, com impactos adversos à saúde e adversidades diárias, que poderiam ser evitadas por meio de um
planejamento comunitário mais inclusivo. Esses indivíduos, em sua maioria, vão reconhecer o mundo por meio do tato,
utilizando as mãos para ler, locomover-se e identificar o mundo à sua volta. Soma-se a esse cenário o fato de que uma
parcela importante desses indivíduos possuem múltiplas deficiências, muitas vezes também associadas a comorbidades
pré-existentes, com destaque para diabetes mellitus, uma das principais causas de cegueira em adultos. O atual cenário
representa não só um desafio para indivíduos cegos e com baixa visão, mas uma oportunidade para o desenvolvimento
de estratégias inclusivas em saúde.

the development of inclusive health strategies.
