Men\'s prenatal care is a strategy to expand and promote the health of these people. It was evaluated how the Family Health teams (eSF) conduct this artifice as a care strategy for the male population in Recife-PE. Evaluative, cross-sectional, qualitative study involving nurses, doctors, dentists, nursing technicians and community health agents. A semi-structured questionnaire was applied, followed by six focus groups with the eSF with the largest number of respondents in the first stage to deepen the development of the strategy. Thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin was performed. The evaluation matrix developed made it possible to identify the main strengths and difficulties encountered in the structure, work process and results of the strategy. It was observed that, although accepted as an excellent strategy, there is resistance that permeatesstructural to cultural issues, hindering the proposal to expand access to actions and services to promote men\'s health, remaining the biomedical model. Care refers to the unfolding of care already provided to pregnant women, but it encounters limiting obstacles for its sustainability.
