PHC STRENGTHENING PROGRAM

Alliance for Primary Care

Strategically partnered civil society organizations for advocating with the public and legislative sectors to improve Primary Health Care (PHC) through initiatives that: improve the Brazilian Unified Health System’s (SUS) management model and careers; quicken change and innovation in the SUS; reduce the prevalence of risk factors and foster new healthier environments.

The partnership has already enabled the Health in the City Platform launch, which has been condensed into an e-bookwith 10 suggestions to improve Brazilians’ health. Two evidence-based overviews were published on the Lines of PHC for Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases (Panorama IEPSNo. 2) and the Innovation in Health in Brazil  (Panorama IEPS No. 3).
