ABSTRACT:
Primary Health Care (PHC) is fundamental to child health in Brazil, as it encompasses a series of programs and strategies, however it faces challenges such as limited access to some populations. Objective: To identify the strengths and weaknesses of monitoring child health in PHC. Method: This is an integrative review of the literature, the search was carried out in September 2023 via the Virtual Health Library in four indexed databases. Results: 27 articles were selected for the final sample of the review, with a predominance of publications in Portuguese and English, the Southeast region was the one that produced the most studies on the topic in question, with the North region being the least expressive. From the qualitative analysis of the articles, 3 main categories emerged: Hospitalizations for conditions sensitive to primary care; Assessment of primary care attributes and strategies and child nutrition and nutritional health. Final considerations: Improvement in health indicators and availability of vaccines in the children’s calendar were identified potentialities, however, regional inequalities and fragmentation of services highlight weaknesses.
