Necessidades de saúde no Programa Previne Brasil: uma análise documental

Abstract

Primary healthcare, as an ordering assistance level in healthcare networks, must be sensitive to the needs of users, contributing to health programming and allowing bottom-up planning. Faced with the practice-inducing potential that financing models entail in a context of budget constraints and the creation of the new PHC financing model called Programa Previne Brasil (PPB), it is questionable how much this model considers health needs in its proposition. The present study sought to assess whether the normative documents of the PPB consider the health needs described in the taxonomy of health needs proposed by Cecílio and Matsumoto and modified by Emerson Merhy. This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, based on selected documents on the Ministério da Saúde website. Among the findings, it is noteworthy that among the five documents analyzed, three do not make direct or even tangential mention of any of the five needs arranged in the taxonomy. Given the incipience of the PPB in considering them and the disappearance of the perspective of universal access to the health system, it is recommended to carry out studies that demonstrate their effects, as well as their review and revocation in the new government.
