Since the creation of SUS, various public policies have been implemented in the quest for equity and increasing the supply of healthcare services. In this context, the highlight was to the primary attention which from the 90s has undergone restructuring to offer a set of health actions at individual and collective sphere. The goal is to analyze the implementation process of the program "More Doctors" in the city of Tangara da Serra - MT, compared to the expansion component and infrastructure improvements in Primary Care Network Health through the user's perspective, the professional and the city manager. This Case Study has been underway since January 2016 through quantitative and qualitative approach, the research will subject all doctors hired by the Program divided into two groups: 1) Brazilian doctors; 2) foreign doctors. For the second time the survey will observe users that belong to the areas of coverage of units that have ties to the professional of More Doctors Program. The third stage involves the municipal managers. Data collection carried out so far showed that the program proposed in the municipality was to expand the family's health, from 31.67% to 80%. This expansion brought repercussions in team building and ongoing education processes as well as dynamic practices. It is expected to elucidate how the management and the community absorbed this feature and how their practices are demonstrated in the healthcare routine.
