Resumo
O Programa Agente Comunitário de Saúde (PACS) foi criado inicialmente na década de 90 em algumas regiões do nordeste, com o intuito de diminuir a taxa de mortalidade infantil, antes alta na região. A iniciativa visava à busca de alternativas, para melhorar as condições de saúde de suas comunidades, ou seja, criar um elo entre comunidade e a atenção básica, tendo em vista que o Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS) necessariamente deveria residir na mesma área de abrangência da comunidade atendida. Era uma nova categoria de trabalhadores, formada pela e para a própria comunidade, atuando e fazendo parte da saúde prestada nas localidades. O objetivo deste trabalho constitui-se em mostrar a importância do agente comunitário de saúde para o funcionamento dos serviços de saúde pública, sendo o principal responsável pela ampliação do vínculo da equipe de Saúde da Família (ESF) com a comunidade, e as dificuldades encontradas pelos profissionais. Foram consultados 23 artigos, buscando identificar as atribuições, e o modo que os Agentes Comunitários trabalham, facilitando o acesso à atenção básica de saúde.
