SANTOS, Mara Lisiane de Moraes dos et al. Architectural and communications barriers to access to primary health care in Brazil: an analysis based on the first national census of primary health care centers, 2012. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.2, e2018258. Epub 29-Abr-2020. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742020000200022.
Objective:
to analyze the results of the National Census of Primary Health Care Centers with regard to architectural and communication barriers in Primary Health Care throughout Brazil.
Methods:
this was a cross-sectional study based on data from the first National Census of Primary Health Care Centers conducted between May and October 2012.
Results:
the Northern region had the lowest rates of adequacy; although the Southeast region had the best rates when compared to the country’s other regions, they were nevertheless unsatisfactory, since for many items adequacy was still below 50%; the items relating to accessibility by people with disabilities (5.7 to 34.2%) and/or the illiterate (0.1 to 27.4%) had very low scores.
Conclusion:
the majority of services evaluated had architectural and communication barriers, hindering access to health services by disabled, illiterate or elderly people; the importance of allocating resources to reduce iniquities and improve access is stressed.
