In São Paulo the primary health care is the entry to other levels of the health system, even though the irregular status of the immigrants hinders the entry to other levels, the ones that are already registered go to other levels of health assistance and the same situation happens with the Brazilians and the immigrants with documents.
En São Paulo, la atención primaria constituye la puerta de entrada y la garantía para acceder a la atención en los demás niveles del sistema de salud, a pesar de que la situación de irregularidad impide a muchos inmigrantes tratarse en los servicios.
