THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY HEALTH IN THE SUS

Abstract

The text addresses the Unified Health System (SUS), structured based on the Alma-Ata Conference, highlighting its five pillars: universality, integrality, equity, decentralization and social participation. The Family Health Strategy (FHS) is presented as a transformative model, promoting preventive and comprehensive health, despite challenges in implementation. The literature review analyzes the effectiveness of the ESF, pointing out advances, gaps and the need for greater adherence to the guidelines to optimize the system.
