Agents communautaires de santé : un modèle de santé sans murs

Abstract

The aim of this commentary is to respond to a published Canadian Journal of Public Health article on Brazil's family health strategy, in order to clarify some aspects – in particular, the work of community health workers – that make the strategy a unique experience. In the same vein, the authors explore the similarities, differences and peculiarities between Brazil and Québec with regard to the organizational model for primary health care.
