Abstract:

The National Politics of Integral Attention for Man directed the strategies formulations and actions based on integral attention, aiming the health promotion and disease prevention, focused on basic issues of the Family Health Strategy (FHS). This article describes the specificities of men’s health attention in the context of the FHS according the vision of the manager, the men’s need and the developed actions in the geographical area of the FHS unity. Men’s health attention was evaluated by interviews with 43 FHS managers, systematically elected considering the geographical region, city size and the ESF cover; and interviewing 86 men’s of the same ESF cover area. The strategy of the FHS is to approach the health-disease process in the family and behavioral context. However, in the man’s health sector still there are several gaps, since the inadequate physical structure of the building for man health consultation until the weak motivation of the ESF unity for the development of promotion actions against the most common health problems of the community. This situation limits the man’s health access to the primary health services far from the Politics’s goal .
