The aim of this study was to understand how physicians from a team in the Brazilian Family Health Program perceive their work in child health, as compared to the program's principles outlined in the Agenda for Commitment to Comprehensive Child Health and Reduction of Infant Mortality, under the Ministry of Health. The backdrop was the strategy for implementation of primary care under the Unified National Health System (SUS). Semi-structured interviews were held, and the material was submitted to content analysis. According to the findings, in general the Agenda is being met. However, there are difficulties with referral and counter-referral; the measures proposed by the Family Health Program require medical and sociological competence and face problems inherent to biomedical training; the infrastructure and inputs are precarious; and the training provided does not prepare physicians sufficiently for a more comprehensive approach. In conclusion, the primary care model in Brazil requires adjustments to the country's reality, and partnerships that transcend the system are necessary.
