Thus, the implications of violence in primary health care are analyzed, both for professionals, for the services provided, and for users of basic health units. Since the logic of a living territory can alter perceptions of violence, limiting or expanding the necessary actions to be taken in the territory assigned. Final considerations: It is possible to identify and control cases of violence through notification within primary care.
