This is a qualitative research carried out in Basic Health Units of Benevides municipality, located in State of Pará. We performed a content analysis of interviews with health professionals of those Units.

The reestablishment of professional conduct, management decision-making aligned to the knowledge democratization and the capillarization of NPHP still run into many challenges to be overcome by all workers of Health System.
