ABSTRACT In this study, we analyze the implementation of the Axis Structure of the National Pharmaceutical Assistance Qualification Program in 316 municipalities. It was performed a normative assessment of the physical structure dimensions / human resources and process and analysis of aspects of the organizational context. The municipalities presented, mostly, unsatisfactory (44%) or critical (21%) level of implementation. It was noticed some influence of the organizational context on the degree of implementation. Noteworthy are also cooperation between the Unified Health System (SUS) managers in the implementation of the Axis Structure, as well as the difficulties in diagnosis to identify the structuring needs of Pharmaceutical Care.
