Abstract

The implementation of the Family Health Programme (FHP) has featured the main strategy in the organization

of primary care at the National Health System. The FHP was created by the Health Ministry in 1994, bound to the political

and managerial decentralization process in the sector. The aim of this study was to contextualize the FHP implementation

process in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, by means of documental analysis and the view from the state administration

key-players, involved in the first teams’ implementation process, using semi-structured interviews. It is concluded that the

Family Health Program adoption was facilitated by the decentralization process being held in the country and by the

political priority granted by the State Health Secretary. We may point out the difficulty for health professionals’ settlement

in remote areas which is still a hindrance for the proposal consolidation.
