abstract: 'Niteroi Coletiva, Abstract The objective of this study was to des-cribe if the victims of the Zika have access to es-sential public policies to guarantee social rights. Methods: We used a cross-sectional study of a historical cohort of children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in a reference hospital. CZS diagnosis was based on the Ministry of Health protocol. The variables analyzed were sociode-mographic and social rights of children. Results: Of the 161 children seen from April 2016 to July 2018, 42 were diagnosed with CZS. Of these, 37 children participated in the study and 75.7\% of them had severe neurological disorders. Anticon-vulsants were used by 73\% of the children, with 81\% paid by families. The families were also res-ponsible for purchasing nutritional formulas and diapers in, respectively, 79\% and 100\% of cases, and 89\% of the children had access to rehabilita-tion therapy, although 70\% of them faced several barriers to do it. Of the 24 working mothers, 83\% did not return to the labor market after the birth of their children. Conclusions: The results showed that the families were at an intersection between the integral activity of caring for a child with se-vere disabilities and inefficient and omissive pu-blic authorities, a disincentive and discouraging context that made them give up in seeking their rights.' affiliation: 'de Oliveira, FA (Corresponding Author), Univ Fed Fluminense UFF, Fac Med, Programa Posgrad Ciencias Med, R Marques de Parana 303,4o Andar, BR-24033900 Niteroi, RJ, Brazil. de Oliveira, Fernanda Artimos; de Oliveira, Solange Artimos, Univ Fed Fluminense UFF, Fac Med, Programa Posgrad Ciencias Med, R Marques de Parana 303,4o Andar, BR-24033900 Niteroi, RJ, Brazil. da Silva, Angela Malaquias, Ctr Atencao Portador Deficiencias, Ctr Especializado Reabilitacao 2, Duque De Caxias, RJ, Brazil. da Hora, Senir Santos, Univ Fed Fluminense, Hosp Univ Antonio Pedro, Niteroi, RJ, Brazil. da Silva Junior, Aluisio Gomes, Univ Fed Fluminense, Inst Saude Colet, Niteroi, RJ, Brazil.
