Summary
In the Brazilian context, Primary Health Care (PHC) has been called Basic Health Care (BHC), and has become the main gateway for users to the health system. The Family Health Strategy (FHS) is the organization model induced by the Ministry of Health (MoH), having as main object the family and its social space in the territory[1]. As a result, establishing a bond with the population becomes one of the main attributes of the FHS, enabling commitment and continuity of care. This principle of action configures a new way of acting in health, allowing the sharing, between families and teams, of the responsibility for the health care offered there over time[2]. The international scientific literature shows several studies that show that when these attributes are present in the services, there is an improvement in the quality of care[4]
