Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to characterise the demand of children under the age of 1 attended at the unit of family health in the district of Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo, Brasil.
It is a descriptive study that collected data from the files of 39 children’s families born between 1st June 2001 and 31 March 2002, registered at the family health unit.
The health diagnosis of the children shows a children population at risk. The nurse builds spaces for primary care, preventive measures and promotion of growth and development of the child within health primary care health principles.
Professionals are recommended to make their notes in the files more neatly are these data are fundamental for the individual and group actions to be taken in materno/paediatric health.
