Summary: | This article studies the Brazilian public health policy--Family's Health Strategy (ESF by its Spanish acronym)--verifying, through the analysis of daily life, its organization, functioning and social networks around it. The research was carried out in a Primary Health Care Unit (UAPS by its Spanish acronym), where a documentary analysis of the ESF criteria was held through direct non-participatory observation, self-confrontation interviews and the study of social networks mobilized by professionals and users of this Unity. The results show, on the one hand, that in spite of the application of the principles and guidelines of the ESF in the procedures required by the UAPS, in practice, the profile that their professionals have built is the essential tool to assure the final quality of the work. And, on the other hand, the role of social networks around health reveals the strength of informal relationships and the fragility of the link between the State and the citizens. Keywords: public policies; public health; normative; network; interconnection.

La investigacion se realizo en una Unidad de Atencion Primaria de Salud (UAPS), donde se elaboro un analisis documental de los criterios de la ESF mediante observacion directa no participativa, entrevistas de autoconfrontacion y el estudio de redes sociales movilizadas por profesionales y usuarios de esta Unidad. Los resultados muestran, por un lado, que pese a la aplicacion de los principios y directrices de la ESF en los procedimientos requeridos por la UAPS, en la practica, el perfil que han construido sus profesionales es la herramienta esencial para asegurar la calidad final del trabajo. Y por otro lado, que el papel de las redes sociales en torno a la salud revela la fuerza de las relaciones informales y la fragilidad de la vinculacion entre el Estado y la ciudadania.
