CSFHS

Another major milestone, in 2009, was the publication of the Matriz de acoes de alimentacao e nutricao na Atencao Basica de Saude (Matrix for Food and Nutrition Actions in Primary Health Care), which was published in the year following the creation of CSFH. It has the objective of systematizing and organizing the food and nutrition actions and nutritional care to compose the health actions developed under PHC, aiming at the improvement of the government action, especially regarding the three policies: NFNP, NPPC and NPHP.

The advances resulting from the Brazilian government's efforts are remarkable, among which are the consolidation of NFNP; the increased number of actions offered in nutrition via PHC, especially after the implementation of CSFH; the increasing inclusion of the food and nutrition theme in studies and scientific publications; the monitoring of actions through the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System.

In general, each CSFH 1 must carry out its activities connected to at least eight and a maximum of fifteen teams of Family Health.
