Abstract

Introduction: Access to health services offered by the Health Network integrates the Principle of Universality of the Unified Health System and Primary Health Care is considered the main gateway, which, in turn, plays a fundamental role in the quality of life of the population. Thus, through reforms in the financial transfer to municipalities, the Federal Government instituted strategies aimed at expanding population access to Primary Care, Previne Brasil, which coordinates the number of users served and registered in Basic Health Units and, through this, it becomes possible to analyze the results achieved by the primary health services of the municipality or region. Objective: To analyze the performance indicators of Previne Brasil, in the municipality of Aracaju, Sergipe, in the years 2021 and 2022. Method: Descriptive epidemiological study, with collection of compiled and retrospective data, referring to the reports of performance indicators in the municipality of Aracaju–SE. The sampling consisted of reports from the years 2021 and 2022, with 21 reports for each year, in a total of 42 reports with information from all basic units that provide care in the city of Aracaju, totaling 44 units. The data obtained through the performance indicator reports were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum for quantitative variables and frequencies for qualitative variables. Result: It was observed that the municipality of Aracaju presented, in the years studied, results below the targets established by the Ministry of Health. The worst results presented, in the year 2021, were in the indicators of cytopathology, immunization and percentage of people with hypertension with blood pressure measured during the semester. In 2022, the indicators obtained better results when compared to the previous year, especially in indicators related to prenatal care, however, the cytopathological indicator continued with negative results. Final Considerations: The data from this study demonstrated that the population coverage capacity of the health teams working in Primary Care in the city of Aracaju does not reflect the effective access of the Aracajuan population to PHC services.
