Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the Family Health Strategy after implementation of the More Physicians Program (MPBP) in the territory of Marajó-Pa-Brazil through an historical series of four primary care indicators during 2011-2015: population coverage, proportion of live births to mothers with/without prenatal consultations, hospitalization rates due to primary care sensitive condition (taxas de internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária - ICSAP) and infant mortality rate. A trend of improvement was evident after implementation of the MPBP in 2013, achieving 42.8% of coverage in December 2015. In April 2014, all 16 municipalities had established teams with physicians. The proportion of live births to mothers with/without prenatal consultations showed increasing trends in most municipalities, increasing by 97% on average, predominantly with seven consultations or more and reducing the proportion of live births to mothers without prenatal visits. The infant mortality rate achieved a downward trend starting in 2014. The results indicate improvements in primary care based on the selected indicators, boosting the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the studied region.

O estudo objetivou avaliar o desempenho da Estratégia Saúde da Família após implementação do Programa Mais Médicos (PMMB) no território do Marajó-PA-Brasil, através da série histórica de quatro indicadores de cuidados primários no período de 2011-2015: cobertura populacional, proporção de nascidos vivos de mães por consultas de pré-natal, taxas de internação por condição sensível a atenção primária (ICSAP) e taxa de mortalidade infantil. A tendência de melhora foi evidente após implantação do PMMB em 2013, alcançando cobertura de 42,8% em 12/2015 na região. Em 04/2014 todos os 16 municípios tinham equipes implantadas com médicos. A proporção de nascidos vivos de mães por consultas de pré-natal apresentou tendência crescente na maioria dos municípios, aumentando em média 97%, predominando 7 ou mais consultas e reduzindo a proporção de nascidos vivos de mães sem consulta pré-natal. A taxa de mortalidade infantil obteve tendência de queda a partir de 2014. Os resultados sinalizam melhoria da atenção primária, a partir dos indicadores selecionados, impulsionando a ESF na região estudada.
