SUMMARY:

This work presents a comprehensive analysis of the Programa Mais Médicos (PMM) and its implications for Brazilian public health, addressing both the spatial distribution of physicians and the program's impacts on mortality rates. The first article investigates the spatial distribution of PMM physicians in Brazilian municipalities from 2013 to 2023, utilizing Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and cluster analysis, revealing significant changes in the allocation of physicians over the years, particularly in underserved areas. The second article explores the implications of the PMM and the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality rates, analyzing the spatial effects on overall mortality, elderly mortality, infant mortality, early childhood mortality, avoidable causes mortality, and mortality from conditions sensitive to primary care. The research indicates that, despite the general increase in mortality rates during the pandemic, the PMM had a positive effect in reducing infant mortality, early childhood mortality, and mortality from conditions sensitive to primary care, highlighting its importance in promoting health equity. This dissertation contributes to the understanding of spatial dynamics in the distribution of physicians and their effects on population health, providing empirical evidence that can guide future public policies and interventions in the program.
