LANTERI, Marisa Alicia. The Context of Covid-19 and the Challenges of Primary Health Attention. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2020, n.40, suppl.1, pp.241-245. ISSN 1853-984X.

The break out of the pandemic impacted all of us who work in public health. At first it left us in a lack of information. Then as days passed, the Action Protocols arrived, and we organized ourselves with new schedules, number of people who could enter the institution, a home building waiting to be modified to suit the needs of the task. Covid-19 and its declaration as a pandemic forced governments to decide to take health measures, including isolation. The Argentine government ordered compulsory social isolation for the entire population, but designated as essential workers those who perform our role in primary health care centers (CAPS). We take care of the reorganization of the space, thinking about the way to find ourselves in it, reviewing the missing ones for the opening and receiving those who require attention. Today it is of utmost importance to rethink the lives of each and every one, for this to strengthen PHC as the main care tool for the neediest populations in the neighborhoods of Rosario.
