Summary: | The “Mais Médicos” (“More Doctors”) Program in
Brazil aims to solve the shortage of doctors by
providing Brazilian and foreign professionals to
work in cities with difficult access and marked
socioeconomic vulnerability. This study aims to
describe existing researches on the
implementation of the “Mais Médicos” (More
Doctors) Program on Primary Healthcare. This is
a descriptive research, in the form of an
integrative review of literature according to data
collection in the online databases: BVS and
Scielo, with interrelations of Boolean operators
and and or. The studies analyzed are: opinion
articles, editorials, open space technology and
debates, denoting the scarcity of original
research carried out in this area. It is perceived
that SUS (“Brazilian Unified Health System”)
needs to develop much more to guarantee the
universal right to health, since the population,
besides the necessity of more doctors, also needs
better perspectives of health and social justice. |
