Abstract:

This critical narrative review analyzes the national literature on the implementation of the More Doctors Program (PMM),January 2016 to May 2019, distributed according to its three programmatic axes: 1. Improvement of Infrastructure the Primary Health Care Networks; 2. Expansion of Vacancies and Medical and Reform Courses in Medical Education, and 3. Emergency Medical Provisioning. After consulting the Scielo and Lilacs information sources through the MaisMédicos Program markers, and their English and Spanish versions, 37 articles were ed, 31 of which were ed because they focused specifically on the implementation of one or more axes. Axis 1 had the lowest number of publications, while the highest concentration of articles occurred in axes 2 and 3, in 2016 and 2019, respectively, depending on the timely implementation of the PMM. The analysis points to successes and weaknesses in the formulation and implementation of the Program. It should be considered in the elaboration and execution of future projects, based on the expansion of access and the universalization of medical care to vulnerable populations.
