ABSTRACT
This article aims at discussing Primary Care, based on the assumption of the structural question as to its scope of duties. This has been a topic of great debate among policy makers, national and international regulatory bodies, and there is a tendency to consider Primary Care as a fundamental and structuring follow-up of the health services network. This also means overcoming the already widespread idea that primary care focuses on prevention and promotion services, with basic clinic, offering a reduced package of services, with the aim of meeting some needs of low-income population groups, without proper completeness of the system, with access to all the resources necessary for care.
