Primary Health Care (PHC) is responsible for organizing the care networks of the Unified Health System (SUS), and with advances in digital health and investments from the Ministry of Health, tools have been developed to support PHC management. This article presents the “PHC Teams and Facilities Map” a publicly accessible tool developed by the Monitoring and Evaluations Coordination of the Secretariat of Primary Health Care of the Ministry of Health. The platform allows visualization of the territorial distribution of Basic Health Units and teams through five thematic maps: demography, teams, coverage, rurality, and dengue. Public data from the Health Information System for Primary Care; the National Registry of Health Establishments; the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics; as well as geological risk information from the Geological Survey of Brazil, and information on areas from the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples and the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform were used. The initiative seeks to promote greater transparency and support in decision-making, and could become a valuable strategy in the primary health care planning process
