Abstract

The Program More Doctors (Programa Mais Médicos) aims to decrease the shortage of physicians and reduce the regional health disparities and involves three main strategies: i) more places and new Medical Courses based on the revised Curriculum Guidelines; ii) investments in the (re)construction of Primary Healthcare Units; iii) provision of Brazilian and foreign medical doctors. Until July 2014, the Program made the provision of 14,462 physicians to 3,785 municipalities with vulnerable areas. Evidence indicates a 53% reduction in the number of municipalities with physicians' shortage; in the North, 91% of the municipalities with physicians' shortage have been provisioned, with almost five physicians per municipality, on average. The professionals' integration in the Family Health Teams has strengthened and expanded the capacity of intervention, particularly in the context of adopting a healthcare model that encompasses different demands of health promotion, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders, to face the challenge of the double burden of disease. The population is affected by obesity and non-communicable chronic diseases, alongside with infection, parasitic diseases and malnutrition remaining. The people of cities, rural areas and forests want more doctors, health perspectives and more social justice.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 March 2018.
All research outputs
#7,356,550
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#625
of 2,035 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#85,771
of 294,812 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#7
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,035 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 294,812 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
