Expansion of Primary Health Care coverage in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (2013-2023)

Abstract

This paper aimed to analyze the factors related to the expansion of family health teams, oral health teams, and multidisciplinary teams in Campo Grande-MS, from 2013 to 2023, and identify the effect of this activity with the establishment of a Family and Community Medicine Residency and a Multidisciplinary Family Health Residency, verifying whether the teams were deployed in areas with a higher social exclusion rate. This quantitative, analytical, and longitudinal study employed secondary data, and we observed a significant increase in Family Health, Oral Health, and Multidisciplinary teams in Campo Grande throughout the period studied. In 2018, we identified a broad transformation from traditional units to family health units, and family health residencies were established in 2020, which led to the second year with a more significant expansion of the teams. In 2023, we noted that family health coverage achieved 100% of the areas with the highest social exclusion rate.
