Abstract:

The National Primary Care Policy (PNAB) provided a significant change in terms of health actions in the riverside territory, creating health teams and equipment appropriate to the needs of the Amazon region. The teams of Riverside Health and River Health for the areas of the Legal Amazon and Pantanal were innovative in the integral care of the forest populations. This study aims to analyze primary health care in the rural and riverside context in the Amazon territory, based on the production of individual and collective actions by health teams, as well as their performance through services offered in the municipalities. The study is cross-sectional, with a descriptive-analytical design and quantitative approach, analyzing the coverage of primary health care actions of family health strategy teams in urban, rural and riverside areas of eight municipalities located in the state of Amazonas. The results showed that there was an increase in the coverage of primary care in almost all the municipalities analyzed, indicating that techno-assistance models such as the riverside and river teams produced the inclusion of a population that is dispersed over long areas of the municipalities territory. Finally, it is highlighted that a health policy with equity produces changes and transformations in the ways of life and health conditions of the Amazonian populations.
