Abstract

Objective: To identify the coverage of the Health Program at the School in the Municipality of Porto Alegre in 2017. Method: Cross-sectional, retrospective study based on the online information system database of the Ministry of Health's basic assistance – E-SUS. The data collection was carried out in October 2018, through fiches of collective activities reported by the health units. Included were public schools agreed by the municipality. Results: 6,832 actions were carried out in 65 schools, resulting in a coverage of 21.95% of the program in the municipality. Of the twelve actions, only "signs of diseases of elimination" were not carried out. Conclusion: It was possible to present an overview of the actions carried out in 2017. It is important to highlight the importance of investments in the PSE to follow the actions, since the school is a favorable space for health education and construction of preventive actions, focusing on quality of life, especially in vulnerable territories.
