Primary health care is the central strategy defined by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to achieve the goal of "Health for All" proposed since 1978 by Alma Ata. In the region of the Americas, this strategy has been included within health systems and has been interpreted and adapted to the political, cultural, social and economic contexts of developing countries. In Colombia this setting has been immersed and some regulations define and limit it for development in the municipalities. Bogotá has included this position for several years now, and in each change of government it is given a particular connotation according to the proposals of the territorial health plans and the proposals in the development plans, with or not greater emphasis on its postulates. This article shows the approach that is given from primary care in the last periods of government and how it interacts in a pandemic such as the one presented by COVID-19.
