Abstract

Considering the Pharmaceutical Assistance (AF) actions that are essential input the product aimed at promotion, protection and recovery of health. Thus, the structure of the AF in the Unified Health System (SUS) is considered a strategy for access to drugs and their rational use. In order to provide support for the continued improvement of municipal AF, we sought to assess the management capacity of the municipal AF through adapted indicators of the evaluation matrix for Education and Research Center for Pharmaceutical Assistance (NEPAF) Pharmacy School of Federal University da Bahia (UFBA). There was an observational study with exploratory and evaluative-descriptive approach, through interviews with key informants (users, professionals and health managers), organizational observation of health institutions in the city, refers to prescriptions and documentary research documentary in the period from January to September 2016. The Municipal Register of Drugs contemplates the reality of the city, where 93.04% (n = 976) the provisions in the Basic Pharmacy were in agreement with it. The structural conditions of the services are adequate, however, there are conditioning factors for the advancement of AF as (i) autonomy and joint coordination of AF, (ii) strategic conditions, (iii) active human resources and (iv) logistical conditions programming and purchase of medicines. The absence of an effective performance of the pharmacist in providing AF ignores its real and vital role in the health system. So committed professionals sets a revealing opportunity for growth and consolidation of NHS pharmaceutical services at the municipal level.
