Abstract

Pharmaceutical Assistance (PA) has as main objective the medicines, its rational use and appropriate management in the health systems, aiming at the well-being of service users. Therefore, it is essential that it is operationalized and
recognized by health managers. The objective of this study is to identify the County Health Plans (CHP) of Paraná State (Brazil) and how PA is inserted in the County Health Secretariats. The study is exploratory, using a documentary
and bibliographical review. 26 CHP were identified. It was verified that the professionals involved in most the studied municipalities had restricted knowledge regarding the concepts of PA, limiting itself to the cycle of acquisition, storage and dispensation; few of them expand services to strengthen management and ensure the rational use of medicines by
patients. It is concluded that the managers should be oriented and charged to develop the services of PA, integrating the services in a multidisciplinary way and offering quality in the provision of health services.
