Abstract

Objective: To report the characteristics of the riverside population through the experience and experience acquired during a period of 4 years by riverside health managers in a municipality in the interior of Amazonas. Experience report: This is a descriptive experience report, obtained from the knowledge and experiences acquired during 4 years of professional management involving the care of riverside populations in a municipality in the interior of the Amazon, between 2017 and 2021. It was possible to monitor on a daily basis all the planning and development of activities carried out in the local rural area. Over the last 4 years, 40 trips were made by UBS Fluvial, in this period, all 206 local communities were reached, covering all regions, with approximately 60,000 visits in various specialties. Final considerations: Considering the peculiarities of the city's extensive rural areas, it is suggested to study the economic feasibility of the fluvial UBS and the possibility of implementing health base centers, similar to the model implemented in Indigenous Health Districts (DSEI), enabling continuous care and perhaps, the reduction of costs in the operationalization of health actions.
