Resumo: This study aims to characterize aspects of Primary Health Care in the Amazon Region of Brazil, considered as the main endemic area for malaria in the country. The Ministry of Health recommends the expansion of Primary Health Care in endemic areas for malaria. A survey focusing on patients infected with malaria was conducted in 6 municipalities, in January and February 2007, to investigate specific aspects of Primary Health Care. Data was analyzed quantitatively and field records helped to give support to context and policy issues in the visited sites. Quality of access to health services and medicines, continuity of health care, system coordination and community orientation are still incipient in the visited areas. The study showed that there is little integration between Primary Health Care and malaria control in the region, which calls for development of joint strategies and for the strengthening of Primary Health Care per se, as a benefit to the population of this endemic area.

Este estudio pretende caracterizar aspectos de la Atención Básica en la región de la Amazonia Legal, principal área endémica para malaria en Brasil. El Ministerio de la Salud recomienda la expansión de la Atención Básica en las áreas afectada por la malaria. Fue realizado una encuesta transversal aplicada a los portadores de malaria en 6 municipios, durante los meses de enero y febrero de 2007. Los datos recolectados fueron tabulados y analizados utilizando técnicas cuantitativas. Registros de campo auxiliaron en la composición de las impresiones del contexto de estas políticas en los locales investigados. La calidad del acceso a consultas y medicamentos, el vínculo con los profesionales y con las Unidades Básicas de Salud, el sistema de referencia y contra-referencia y el abordaje familiar y comunitario de la salud por los profesionales en los municipios del estudio también son deficientes en este nivel de atención. Existe una baja integración entre el Programa Nacional de Control de Malaria y la Atención Básica de un modo general.
