An observational descriptive study was conductedbased on a semi-structured questionnaire intended to health professionals from several categories working at Petrolina’s ESF.Among the services provided by the municipality in the ESF, mentioned by the professionals, the ones considered as moreeffective were vaccination, nursing services and prenatal care, while pharmacy and dentistry were considered the most precarious.The units’ structure was reported by 43% of the professional as the main problem that hinders the implementation ofservices in the units and 27% said that the units in which they work cannot meet the demand. The shortage of professionalscoupled with lack of equipment, supplies and medicines preclude the working practices, lagging the current health system inthe country, overloading macrocomponents of medium and high levels of complexity in health. |
