Abstract:

Describes the evolution of the structure and results of Primary Health Care (PHC) in Brazil, between 2008 and 2019. The median of variables such as: per capita expenditure on PHC per inhabitant covered, PHC coverage and mortality rates and hospitalizations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC) of 5565 brazilian municipalities stratified according to population size and quintile of the Brazilian Deprivation Index (IBP) and the median trend in the period analyzed. There was a 12% increase in the median expenditure on PHC. PHC coverage expanded, with 3,168 municipalities presenting 100% coverage in 2019, against 2,632 in 2008. Median ACSC mortality and hospitalization rates increased by 0.2% and decreased by 44.9%, respectively. Spending on PHC was lower in municipalities with greater socioeconomic deprivation. The larger the population size and the better the socioeconomic conditions of the municipalities, the lower the PHC coverage. The greater the socioeconomic deprivation of the municipalities, the higher the median mortality ratesACSC. This study showed that the evolution of PHC was heterogeneous and is associated with both population size and the socioeconomic conditions of the municipalities.
