Health care is not only a level of attention from the health care system or a technical procedure, but an action that has full meanings and feelings directed towards the understanding of health as a right to be. With this understanding, we conducted this research with the objective of analyzing the practices of comprehensive health care, the effect of USF Maruípe Region, the city of Vitória - ES.
