- Abstract
The goal of this study was to assess the structure available at Family Health Strategy units for the provision of prenatal care in the city of Cuiabá, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil, from the perspective of health services assessment proposed by Donabedian. This research assesses health quality from a quantitative approach. It was carried out using secondary data from the database of the Argos/Gerar Research Group. The results revealed that the units had deficient physical structure, since many of them did not have a pre-consultation room and a conference room. The lack of equipment, including Doppler sonar and Pinard stethoscopes, undermines prenatal care. The dimension 'human resources' was the most deficient, due to the non-permanence of some professionals in the unit, highlighting intense turnover, mainly of nursing technicians and physicians. In the general classification, the most compromised dimension was 'human resources'. In turn, the best classified dimension was 'information system'. Although the aspects regarding the structure of basic health units for prenatal care have been considered partially inadequate in this study, family health units of Cuiabá, MT, are still deficient on several aspects with respect to the general classification.
