Abstract

Tuberculosis is a public health problem and its control does depart from the basic national policy attention. Concerned with the control of the disease in its area of coverage, the health team family Vilage do Lago, in Montes Claros, municipality in northern Minas Gerais, chose to conduct an intervention project next to its population. The territory of the team is situated 8 km from the downtown, consists of 4086 people in 978 families registered. In 2013, five patients were monitored with pulmonary tuberculosis, but only one was diagnosed this year. Of these, one abandoned treatment, one had a strains of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Another one had ended treatment in this year, and one more is in regular treatment. Lastly, one patient left the territory (was transferred). 38 contacts of these patients were surveyed, but only eleven were evaluated. Given these data, it is necessary to proper planning for early diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of the completeness of contacts to prevent tuberculosis transmission chain. The project aims to develop intervention strategies for disease control. The method used to select the problem and design of the project was the Situational Strategic Planning, passing through its different phases: explanatory, normative and strategic . The last point is the tactical-operational when the plan is put into practice. Hopefully, with the project reaching global targets for disease control.
