Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To identify the contributions of the Mais Médicos Program (PMM) for health care in Brazil. METHOD: An integrative review was performed in the following databases: SciELO, Lilacs, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search term “mais médicos” was used in Portuguese, Spanish (“más médicos”), and English (“more doctors”). RESULTS: The search retrieved 1 482 articles, of which 35 were included in the review. Overall, the articles described positive contributions of the PMM, with increase in the number of available physicians, opening of additional undergraduate slots in medical schools, increased availability of medical appointments, and improvements in the physical structure and work processes in primary care facilities. CONCLUSIONS: The PMM provided significant contributions for the Brazilian health care system, promoting the allocation of financial resources for primary care in the country.
