Construction of the Municipal Health Plan from the district perspective: experiences and challenges in the pandemic context

Abstract

Experience report on the construction process of the Municipal Health Plan from the district perspective of  residents in Planning and Management. The  elaboration process of the Municipal Health Plan of  Salvador (2022-2025), with the mobilization of Health  Districts (DS) for the elaboration of the Health Situation Analysis (ASIS), began in April/2021. Three  residents in Planning and Management, under the supervision of teachers and monitoring of the  preceptorship, experienced the whole process, since  they were involved in the context of one of the twelve health districts of the municipality. Through the survey and access to health information systems and  contacts with managers and technicians, the ASIS of  the DS for the period 2010-2020 was prepared.  Meetings for sharing and mobilizing the district  situation were held with various actors, prior to the  district workshop, to prioritize health problems, which  resulted in the district report. The process of  elaborating the district ASIS made it possible to  understand the importance of health planning and its  applicability, contributing to the training process of  residents, in the development of skills and abilities, considering the health and epidemiological reality.
