Abstract
Objective: To review in the literature about the health policies directed to traditional medicine in a municipality of Pará. Methods: Exploratory and descriptive study, with documentary character. As a contribution was made the search for official documents, scientific articles and official sites with direct relation with the municipality studied. Results: There were 06 publications between the years 2006 and 2018. These actions identified the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices in Health in local services and institutions. There are parallel actions related to the expansion of actions with Public Universities. Conclusion: The policy is being implemented as a pilot project in the municipality in partnership with educational institutions, but its maintenance is deficient due to the lack of commitment of professionals, deficits in access to health services in some localities and knowledge of health technicians. The reality demonstrates the difficulties to maintain and expand public health policies due to the peculiarities of the Amazon, despite the legislation underlying its execution.
