Abstract
Objective: To present how the health policies of men in Brazilian primary care act in the prevention of diseases and how their expansion can collaborate with the reduction of the number of diseases in people of the male sex. Bibliographic review: Men's health policies exist to prevent the worsening of illnesses whose main incidence is the male population, in addition to ensuring greater care and preventing the onset of these diseases. Brazilian primary care comprises a series of programs available for the first contact of human beings with public health policies. It is worth mentioning, however, that many policies require a greater effort by health professionals so that the target audience can adhere to them. However, the great obstacle that ends up not allowing these policies to obtain the desired data has its advent in a culture where men do not have time to care for their health. Final considerations: Therefore, men's health policies lack the expansion of adherence campaigns, in addition to providing greater means of access, such as more flexible schedules that follow the worker's agenda.
