Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the evolution and coverage scenario of pre-hospital care in Brazil between 2015 and 2019, in the dimensions of efficiency and sufficiency, in all municipalities, according to macro-regions, population and covered area, coverage strategy, modalities and mobile resources distributed. Method: Census, observational, quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, carried out with data on the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU 192) provided by the Ministry of Health, complemented with geographic area and population, by municipality. Results: Coverage increased by 5.4%, reaching 85.0% of citizens and 3750 municipalities (67.3%), with a predominance of the Basic Life Support modality (83.0%). There were variations in the coverage and composition of the response forces between regions, with markedly greater inequality between capitals and interior. The vulnerable face of coverage is in 1938 municipalities covered regionally and in 1820 municipalities without coverage. Conclusion: Efficiency in coverage is consistent with the comprehensiveness guideline. The meager expansion and persistence of discovery associated with inequality of resources and response forces, corrupt the guideline of equality in access to health (sufficiency).
