This study examines the health situation in Brazil's Federal District between 2005 and2017. A related set of indicators were selected and compared to those for Brazil 's Midwest ("Centro-Oeste") region and for the country as a whole. First, data are presented on the demographic profile and current organizational structure of the health regions and administrative areas of the Federal District. The results show that infant mortality declined from 18.3% in 2006 to 10.3% (one of the lowest in rates in Brazil) in 2016. AIDS incidence in the Federal District declined 21.3% between 2006 and 2016, a positive result when compared to data for the Midwest region and Brazil. Tuberculosis incidence and mortality rates were among the lowest in Brazil between 2006 and 2016, well below the national average, as were those for Hansen's disease, where both annual incidence and incidence of grade 2 disability decreased significantly between 2007 and 2017. Congenital syphilis in under 1 year-olds has increased in recent years in Brazil and the Midwest, and also in the Federal District, where the rate was 2.56 per 1,000 live births in 2006 and 4.7 per 1,000 live births in in 2016. These data enable managers to identify trends and challenges to be met, and inform decision-making in response to health realities in the Federal District.

The objective was to describe the experience report in the elaboration of a monitoring strategy of the activities of the Expanded Nucleus of Family Health and Primary Care (Nasf-AB) in a Health Region of the Federal District (DF). This is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, carried out from March to May 2020. The monitoring strategy consisted in the preparation of a fourmonthly frequency productivity report, with data from attendances recorded by the nucleus, downloaded from the e-SUS AB system, where information was collected on general care and collective actions according to the professional category and Basic Health Unit (BHU). Monitoring Nasf-AB's productivity has the potential to assist in decision-making at the local and regional level, by viewing the most demanded professional categories, supporting compliance with the principle of transparency and the allocation of human resources in a more ethical manner.

Introduction: One of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world, in populations of all age groups are caused by Viral Respiratory Tract Infections (VRTI), however, there are risk groups in which the condition can be aggravated, as the Population Deprived of Liberty (PDL). Aim: To identify the scientific production on strategies for prevention and control of outbreaks of VRTI in Populations Deprived of Liberty (PDL). Outlining: Medline, Pubmed Central, SCIELO, LILACS and Science Direct databases were used for data collection. Results: 387 articles were found. Of these, 20 addressed aspects related to the theme and only 16 presented a description of coping strategies for the infections addressed. The articles were categorized by content analysis by the Bardin method. Five categories were obtained: Monitoring the Health Situation of PDL (94%, n=15), Social Distancing (75%, n=12), Health Education (37%, n=6), Respect for Human Rights (25%, n=4) and Environmental Hygiene (19%, n=3). Implications: The implementation of these strategies depends on strengthening health systems, supporting the effectiveness of human rights and including the prison health agenda in the public health agenda not only in pandemic periods.
