Avaliação da conformidade de unidades de saúde do município de Pato Branco - PR conforme a resolução da diretoria colegiada nº 50, de 21 de fevereiro de 2002

Abstract

Basic Health Units (UBSs) are public facilities that form part of Primary Health Care (APS) and are responsible for providing basic and comprehensive health services to the population of a given region. To ensure the quality of these services, it is essential that the infrastructure of the units meets the needs of the community served and complies with current sanitary regulations. In this context, this study aims to analyze the compliance of seven UBSs in the municipality of Pato Branco – PR with the Resolution of the Collegiate Board (RDC) no. 50, dated February 21, 2002, issued by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). The research involved design analysis and technical visits to the units located in the neighborhoods of Alvorada, Industrial, Fraron, Morumbi, Novo Horizonte, Planalto, and São Cristóvão, selected according to their strategic location and number of users. A checklist based on RDC was applied to identify nonconformities. The results indicate that, although some units present partially adequate conditions, several nonconformities persist, especially those related to space dimensions, finishing materials, circulation areas, and the absence of specific building installations. It is concluded that compliance with RDC from the design stage is essential to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency in the units, providing an environment suitable both for delivering services to the population and for the performance of health professionals.
