Family Health Support Teams distribution and professional composition in Paraná

The Family Health Support Teams (FHST) are a strategy created in 2008 by Brazilian Ministry of Health, attempting to modify the hegemonic thinking in health care. Since then, Paraná State, just as the other States, is progressively using the politics. In this paper has been analyzed the FHST composition and distribution in Paraná, using the data available in National Database Health Services (NDHS). The data were collected in 2012, May and June, and has been possible to notice heterogeneity in distribution and team's composition, which follows the same thinking about family health teams in State.
