Construction of the Municipal Health Plan from the district perspective: experiences and challenges in the pandemic context

ABSTRACT

Experience report on the construction process of the Municipal Health Plan from the district perspective of residents in Planning and Management. The elaboration process of the Municipal Health Plan of Salvador (2022-2025), with the mobilization of Health Districts (DS) for the elaboration of the Health Situation Analysis (ASIS), began in April/2021. Three residents in Planning and Management, under the supervision of teachers and monitoring of the preceptorship, experienced the whole process, since they were involved in the context of one of the twelve health districts of the municipality. Through the survey and access to health information systems and contacts with managers and technicians, the ASIS of the DS for the period 2010-2020 was prepared. Meetings for sharing and mobilizing the district situation were held with various actors, prior to the district workshop, to prioritize health problems, which resulted in the district report. The process of elaborating the district ASIS made it possible to understand the importance of health planning and its applicability, contributing to the training process of residents, in the development of skills and abilities, considering the health and epidemiological reality.
