Análise da situação da Atenção Primária à Saúde no município de Trindade-GO: evolução da cobertura assistencial e contribuições para a gestão em saúde

Abstract

Primary Health Care (PHC) is the main gateway to the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) and plays a fundamental role in health promotion, disease prevention, and care coordination. This study aimed to analyze the situation of Primary Health Care in the municipality of Trindade, Goiás, through the evaluation of health coverage and the identification of strategies aimed at strengthening health services. This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, based on secondary public-access data obtained from the e-Gestor Primary Care system and other official databases of the Ministry of Health. The data were organized into electronic spreadsheets and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, averages, and percentages for indicator interpretation. The results showed that the municipality maintained high PHC coverage rates throughout most of the analyzed period, especially between 2001 and 2019, when coverage levels remained close to 100%. However, a progressive reduction in coverage was observed in recent years, decreasing from approximately 93% in 2021 to about 81% in 2024. The findings highlight the need for continuous monitoring of health indicators and the strengthening of planning and territorial organization strategies within health services. It is concluded that health situation analysis is an important tool to support evidence-based management, contributing to the improvement of Primary Health Care and the expansion of population access to health services.
