PERFIL DE ATENDIMENTO À CRIANÇAS E JOVENS COM PARALISIA CEREBRAL NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA NO NORDESTE.

This article presents a study on the care profile for children and young people with cerebral palsy in primary healthcare in northeastern Brazil. The objective of the study was to outline this care profile using data from the Basic Health Care Information System (SISAB). The results showed a reduction in the number of medical and physiotherapy appointments in 2020 compared to 2022. Additionally, it was observed that the majority of appointments occur in primary healthcare centers rather than at home. The conclusion of the study emphasizes the need to strengthen the healthcare network for these individuals in order to develop public policies and health education strategies that promote the full development of children and young people with cerebral palsy.
