Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an action plan to provide orientation the population of the covered area by a Family Health Team (FHT) in the Araxá city concerning the prevention forms of dengue fever. After conducting a situational diagnosis dengue fever was selected as the main problem, because according to the sector of zoonosis control were reported 30 notifications and 17 confirmed cases of dengue fever in 2013.
