Intersectoral action Teamwork and the Family Health Strategy

The challenges in planning a health team, where the focus is the population, are notorious. Comprehensive care and teamwork are basic attributes for resolving health needs. Ensuring universal access, comprehensive care, decentralised management and social control are principles of the SUS. Intersectorality, a guideline of the Family Health Strategy and a health management-care-promotion practice, has been overcoming the fragmentation of actions by articulating public policies that respond to social inequalities and inequities. Scholars on the subject point to positive results, which stimulate health care and promote the principle of equity. The political and technical weight of intersectoral action in decision-making is important. However, they will only be effective when consensus is established, as all the players have relevant merit in this integration. The study indicated the search for quality in health work; it put forward proposals for reorienting practices. The proposals defined must be discussed if they are to succeed. This analysis will strengthen a broader view and the planning of sustainable intersectoral actions.
