RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, (PAHO) – At the II Regional Forum of the Alliance for Primary Health Care in the Americas, experts from across the region and beyond underscored the central role of interprofessional teams in strengthening primary health care (PHC) and responding to increasingly complex population health needs. From Brazil, Dirceu Ditmar Klitzke, coordinator of primary health care financing programming, ministry of health of Brazil, presented the country’s long-standing experience with interprofessional family health teams. At the subnational level, Augusto Videira, director of primary health care, municipal health secretary of Salvador, shared the experience of Salvador, a city facing significant demographic and epidemiological transitions. To support this, PAHO developed EqIPS—a tool for organising and composing interprofessional teams in primary health care. Leveraging digital technologies, data-driven approaches, and innovative financing mechanisms, he noted, will be key to maximising the impact of interprofessional teams and advancing primary health care in the Americas.
