Abstract:

This study assessed the Family Health Strategy (FHS) accessibility to health care in the municipal system, which is the health macro-region headquarters in the state of Bahia. It was an evaluative study with two levels of analysis: the municipal management and the local organization of FHS teams. Data production combined documentary analysis, non-participant observation, and interviews with managers, professionals, and users. Goal-image was used with evaluative criteria and dimensions of the accessibility in Primary Care. Family Health Teams (FHT) still do not entirely fulfill the role of preferential contact in municipal health services and the accessibility to health care reflects interdependence of municipal and local factors. Rural and peripheral teams performed better in organizational accessibility and central urban teams was highlighted by their geographic accessibility. The assessment focused on geographic and organizational criteria, in the combination of different sources of evidence and health system players, besides the use of analysis levels considering the municipal and local PHC management, are relevant contributions of this study, which can be extended to other municipal systems with similar characteristics.
