- Abstract
Objective: To understand how the municipalities of the Northern macro-region of Paraná reorganized PHC services during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology: a qualitative case study in which 27 local health managers from 16 municipalities in this macro-region were interviewed from July to October 2021. The interviews were analyzed through discourse analysis and the project was approved by the research ethics committee. Results: the health crisis of Covid-19 directly interfered in the organization and provision of PC services in the studied region. Despite this, there was reorganization of services through sentinel units for the care of people with respiratory symptoms, reorganization of the flow of care to users, monitoring of suspected and confirmed cases of Covid, actions for the assistance of patients with chronic conditions, as well as the development of partnerships with universities to increase attention to users. Final considerations: despite the Federative crisis that delayed the response time of the municipalities, they demonstrated resilience capacity to reorganize their PC services contributing to the fight against the pandemic.
