The Family Health Program (FHP) was presented as the main program of the reorganization of Basic Care in Brazil, with the effort to provide municipalities and the population access to health services in a preventive and not just curative way. Today, in a long-term context of the implementation of the PSF, for the state of Goiás, the PSF is present in all municipalities in Goiás and with a population coverage of 67% in 2015. In the context, the present study seeks to assess the impact of the Family Health Program on indicators of infant mortality rate (under one year) and childhood mortality rate (under five years) between 2006 and 2014 of the municipalities of Goiás. For this, we use the panel data methodology with negative binomial distribution considering the fixed effects, for which five models were considered. The results show that the Family Health Program contributed to the reduction of the infant mortality rate and the childhood mortality rate in the municipalities of Goiás, as well as other control variables such as municipal health expenditure, the proportion of families followed with health profile in the CadÚnico. These results show that prevention-related health actions through primary care have contributed to the reduction of child-related mortality. It is also worth mentioning this study, when conducting the discussion and analyzing the effect of the PSF for a state in the Midwest.
