Abstract

After situational diagnosis in the area covered by Team 2 of the Basic Health Unit of Taquaril neighborhood, Belo Horizonte, MG it was observed a high number of hypertensive and diabetic patients. Therefore, this study aimed to elaborate an action plan in order to attend the hypertensive and diabetic users of the analyzed area. The methodology is carried out in three stages: situational diagnosis; literature review and action plan. As results of the situational diagnosis, the following critical nodes were selected: poorly informed population; inappropriate habits and lifestyles and; absence of actions to promote health and prevention by the team. Based on these critical nodes the following coping actions were proposed: creation of the projects “Did you know?” to increase the level of population information on hypertension and diabetes; “Let's change” to stimulate the modification of the population's lifestyle through regular physical activity and adequate food and; “Health group” to deploy a Care Line to identify and track people with risk factors for hypertension and diabetes. This intervention plan is expected to disseminate information to users and help control hypertension and diabetes, improving their quality of life.
