Resumo:The National Policy on the Health of Persons with Disabilities guides actions of health promotion, disability prevention, improvement of information mechanisms, professional training, organization and operation of health care services. However, persons with disabilities do not feel assisted in their needs when seeking such services. In addition, medical education, in general, has not included in its curriculum content this group of persons, thus contributing to the non-recognition of the specificities related to the various types of disability and aspects relevant to integral care. This study aims to understand the perception of persons with disabilities about the medical care received in health services, so as to contribute to professional training that meets the needs of this specific population. The theoretical-methodological path covered was phenomenology, using the qualitative approach. The techniques used to collect data were focal group and semi-structured interviews, from which emerged three thematic units: Needs of persons with disabilities; Health Services and Comprehensive health care for persons with disabilities. The results of this research showed that persons with disabilities, when they use health services seeking medical attention, often face barriers in the institutions, both at the level of attitudinal and communication, accessibility, to the lack of equipment and materials appropriate to their service. There was also a need for awareness and training of medical professionals to better care and accommodate persons with disabilities, in order to make them feel socially included and respected in their condition. The importance of the role of primary care in the integral health care of these persons is reiterated, and it is a challenge, reflecting on the effectiveness of current practices and the possibilities for future improvements. It is concluded that it is necessary for medical schools to commit themselves to the theme and to provide education aimed at the health needs of these persons.
