Abstract:

This study aims to assess the accessibility in the basic units of the Family Health Strategy (ESF-UB) and Traditional Basic Units (BU-T) in Recife in 2009. Data were collected through three instruments: a guide for systematic observation of the units and questionnaires for users and professional units. This is a descriptive cross sectional study with quantitative approach. This study interviewed 1180 users, 61 doctors and 56 nurses.
