Em busca do controle de comorbidades crônicas no município de Couto de Magalhães de Minas: Hipertensão Arterial e Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

A high rate of acute and chronic complications was observed in Couto de Magalhães de Minas, arising from the lack of control of systemic hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the city. Given this situation, the Family Health Strategy Geraldo Alves Ferreira found itself motivated to perform an intervention project that aims at reducing the complications of these two pathologies. The method used was based on the Simplified Method of Situational Strategic Planning – PES, after conducting a situational diagnosis in the enrolled population FHS Geraldo Alves. This motivated the development of a protocol for these patients by FHS Geraldo Alves Ferreira, appropriate to the availability of municipal resources, after meeting and approval of the city council. The expected result is improved control of chronic comorbidities and greater patient compliance with treatment plan, thus causing a reduction in the incidence of acute and chronic complications and, consequently, the morbidity and mortality of these two pathologies.
