摘要：
Universal health coverage can be understood as a goal encompassing a series of structural measures that allow health care systems to enhance access to health care. Primary health care (PHC) should be seen as an essential component of this process, in charge of re-organizing services according to the health needs of the population. A Brazilian physician recruitment program, Programa Mais Medicos (More Doctors), has introduced a set of measures that strengthen PHC. Based on a conceptual review of universal health coverage and on an analysis of the More Doctor Program from the perspective of the results obtained in terms of strengthening PHC in the public Unified Health System (SUS), the aim of the present article was to discuss the potential contribution of the More Physicians Program to the progress towards universal coverage in the SUS. It is concluded that the More Doctors Programs is a driver of universal coverage in the public health care system in Brazil.
