- Abstract
Objective: To theoretically reflect on Primary Health Care and Health Care Networks regarding the articulation between them to face Covid-19. Method: Reflective study, based on the discursive formulation about PHC and RAS in the pandemic context. Results: Telemedicine, monitoring of suspected and confirmed cases, creation of new care flows and articulation measures between networks were necessary for PHC, in the context of RAS, to face the pandemic. This scenario reinforced the need for the articulation of health services in care networks, with a view to offering comprehensive care to the population. Conclusion: The importance of PHC for comprehensive care within a health system becomes clear. In a chaotic, uncertain scenario, with rapid growth in incidence and mortality indicators, PHC had to reorganize itself and, from there, play its role as organizer and coordinator of the RAS.
