Purpose: In this regard, the objective of this study outline connections between the performance of the health teams in the PMAQ and the participatory health councils, based on the experiences of councillors and managers from the three large municipalities in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Research Design: The research included semi-structured interviews with members of participatory health councils and health managers, as well as the systematization of information collected in official documents and articles about PMAQ.
