Resumo: | Introduction: The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has unevenly affected the world. Countries with lack of national coordination and/or which resisted implementing non-pharmacological public health actions had their populations impacted by the high number of cases, deaths from COVID-19, and suffered significant socioeconomic impacts. In the case of Brazil, special attention should be given to the role played by Primary Health Care in the prevention and control of COVID-19, considering its function as coordinator and organizer of the Brazilian Unified Health System. Objective: We aim to discuss the actions of Primary Health Care during the first year of the health emergency in Brazil. Methods: To do so, plans proposed by several organizations were considered: World Health Organization, National Council of State Health Secretaries and National Council of Local Health Secretaries, Brazilian Association of Collective Health, and the Brazilian Society of Family and Community Medicine. The plans were compared with the set of documents related to Primary Health Care published by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Results: The strategy to combat the pandemic in Brazil, from the perspective of the Brazilian Ministry of Health coordination, failed in underestimating the role of Primary Health Care. Despite the appeal and parameters established by national and international entities, the action was uncoordinated, and little of what was recommended in technical notes was implemented. Conclusions: Considering that the pandemic is still ongoing in Brazil, the centrality of Primary Health Care must be resumed. |

Los países con falta de coordinación nacional y/o que se resistieron a implementar acciones de salud pública no farmacológicas vieron su población impactada por el alto número de casos, muertes por COVID-19, así como por importantes impactos socioeconómicos, como Brasil y Estados Unidos. En el caso brasileño, se debe poner especial atención al rol de la APS, considerando su función de coordinador y ordenante del SUS. Objetivo: Este artículo discute cuáles son las acciones de la APS durante el primer año de la emergencia de salud en Brasil. Métodos: Para eso, consideramos los planes propuestos por varias organizaciones: OMS, Consejo Nacional de Secretarios de Salud y Consejo Nacional de Secretarios Municipales de Salud, Asociación Brasileña de Salud Colectiva y Sociedad Brasileña de Medicina de Familia y Comunidad. Los documentos se contrastaron con el conjunto de documentos publicados por el Ministerio de Salud relacionados con la APS. Se concluye que la estrategia brasileña de lucha contra la pandemia subestimó el papel de la APS. Resultados: A pesar del llamamiento y parámetros establecidos por entidades nacionales e internacionales, la acción fue descoordinada y poco de lo previsto en notas técnicas se implementó. Conclusiones: Entendiendo que la pandemia todavía está en curso en Brasil, es necesario retomar la centralidad de la APS.Introdução: A pandemia da COVID-19 afetou o mundo desigualmente. Países com ausência de coordenação nacional e/ou que resistiram a implementar as ações não farmacológicas de saúde pública tiveram suas populações impactadas pelo alto número de casos e pelas mortes por COVID-19, além de grandes impactos socioeconômicos, como o Brasil e os EUA. No caso brasileiro, especial atenção deve ser dada ao papel da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), considerando sua função de coordenadora e ordenadora do Sistema Único de Saúde. Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as ações da APS no primeiro ano da emergência sanitária no Brasil. Métodos: Para realizar a análise proposta, consideramos os planos propostos por diversas organizações: Organização Mundial da Saúde, Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Saúde e Conselho Nacional de Secretarias Municipais de Saúde, Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva e Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade. Os documentos foram contrapostos ao conjunto de documentos publicados pelo Ministério da Saúde relacionados à APS. Resultados: A estratégia de combate à pandemia do Brasil falhou em subestimar o papel da APS. Mesmo diante do apelo e dos parâmetros estabelecidos por entidades nacionais e internacionais, a ação foi descoordenada e pouco do previsto em notas técnicas foi implementado. Conclusões: Entendendo que a pandemia ainda está em curso no Brasil, há a necessidade de retomar a centralidade da APS.Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)2022-11-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos Originais; Original Articlesapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/333610.5712/rbmfc17(44)3336Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; Vol. 17 No. 44 (2022); 3336Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; Vol. 17 Núm. 44 (2022); 3336Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; v. 17 n. 44 (2022); 33362179-79941809-5909reponame:Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (Online)instname:Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)instacron:SBMFCporenghttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/3336/1774https://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/3336/1775Copyright (c) 2022 Michelle Fernandez, Luisa da Matta Machado Fernandes, Adriano Massudahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFernandez, Michelle Fernandes, Luisa da Matta MachadoMassuda, Adriano2022-11-28T22:22:54Zoai:ojs.rbmfc.org.br:article/3336Revistahttp://www.rbmfc.org.br/index.php/rbmfchttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/oai||david@sbmfc.org.br2179-79941809-5909opendoar:2022-11-28T22:22:54Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (Online) - Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)false |
