This exploratory descriptive study was performed using a qualitative approach. Data collection was performed by means of interviews and then submitted to content analysis. Three thematic categories were elected: Workers’ activities and the connection between them; the FHT does not work as a Family Health Strategy; and An update of family health teams. Results demonstrate a fragmentation of the activities and a lack of connection between workers, which makes comprehensiveness more difficult. In conclusion, there is a need to make permanent investments in health, strengthen social control, perform participative evaluations in the national health system (SUS) and improve management and health care technologies.
