Meeting the demand for an entire population in terms of health is one of the biggest challenges posed to municipal management. Public health consortia are presented, in view of this reality, as an important mechanism that can be used and that enables public action in terms of resources, money and system optimization.

Some variables were considered as a parameter of analysis, such as the number of municipalities associated by mesoregions and microregions, which participate in associations, which are covered by social control, as well as their main sources of income, population and per capita GDP. It was concluded that the State of Paraíba, despite having several municipalities in health consortium, there are some situations that need special attention, and be improved.
