- Abstract
The Brazilian government created in 2013 the Mais Médicos Program, in which the main goal is to reduce the shortage of doctors in areas with deficits of these professionals. The program establishes shared responsibilities between the federal government, universities and municipalities. In this study we analyzed the implementation of the Mais Médicos Program in the city of Boqueirão, Paraíba. The research, conducted between May 2014 and March 2015, made use of interviews and questionnaires to collect perceptions and evaluations of social actors involved in the program and the beneficiaries of it. In addition, field observations were performed along with document research. Despite the controversies raised during launch - motivated by corporate, partisan and ideological interests - the program ensured continuous care to low-income populations in the city and is responsible for frequent maintenance of medical professionals in primary health care, which resulted in huge acceptance among its beneficiaries. However, the poor state of infrastructure offered by the municipality shows the gap between the program design and the local reality. Such conditions, however, ore not enough to obscure the satisfaction of the population served, which is in the public service the only way to address health.
