The platform facilitates the exchange of information among researchers, professionals and students in the health area, as well as helps negotiation between segments of government and health workers. Moreover, the Ministry of Health, through the development of SUS Workforce Platform – developed in partnership with the Laboratory for Technological Innovation in Health (LAIS) and Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) – has shown the interest in performing the constant monitoring of these human resources, as well as promote the interaction between them. Thus, it is observed that there is a general concern and different actions in progress involving HRH in Brazil. However, the desired changes related to the current plans of the Unified Health System (SUS) in relation to the potential of Primary Health Care show that the country’s HRH sector still needs significant transformations
