Highlights
For the development of health systems, Primary Health Care (PHC) is based on strengthening access and universal health coverage, which are priorities for improving global health[1].Internationally, remote and rural areas are the places where there is greater difficulty in covering health services, with poorer health outcomes, especially related to maternal and infant mortality, infectious diseases, and aging[2]
In Brazil, the major challenge facing the health sector is the implementation of quality PHC in a country with many socioeconomic differences and inequalities in access to health services
Challenges still include low numbers of health professionals, especially physicians with adequate qualifications to offer universal coverage in the various regions of the country. Another problem is that the coordination of the attention between the sectors of PHC and the specialized attention takes place in the long term, and in a country that presents/displays rapid aging population

Challenges still include low numbers of health professionals, especially physicians with adequate qualifications to offer universal coverage in the various regions of the country. Another problem is that the coordination of the attention between the sectors of PHC and the specialized attention takes place in the long term, and in a country that presents/displays rapid aging population. In rural and remote areas, the problem is more aggravating as they are more sensitive to sociocultural problems[5]
