Objective:to evaluate the essential attributes of primary care in a Family Health Strategy in the city of Montes Claros -MG from the perspective of the assisted population. Materials and Methods:this is a quantitative and descriptive study, with a sample of 130 patients. The Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Questionnaire for the Evaluation of the Attributes of Primary Care were applied between the months of September and October 2018. The results were tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet. Results:the four Essential Attributes of Primary Care were mostly answered with a reasonable level of satisfaction or above. Overall average satisfaction was 6.8 points. Conclusion:the reduction of waiting time for appointments with general practitioners and the absence of specialists in the FHS were the main demands. However, in the eyes of users, it was evident that the four Essential Attributes of Primary Health Care, in general, are well exerted.
