In Brazil, the implementation of public health policies for the care of people with physical disabilities is still an objective to be achieved, since there is a pertinent legislation that guarantees comprehensive care for this fraction of the population. It is incumbent upon all government spheres to ensure and evaluate the implementation of these actions through financing and training of health professionals such as doctors, technicians or nursing professionals. It is also necessary that academic research contribute to the systematic evaluation of these policies implementation. Thus, this investigation was carried out to present preliminary evidence about health care of people with disabilities (PWD) in the 46 Basic Health Units (BHU’s) of a city’s urban area in the state of Paraná, Brazil, in 2016. The exploratory method was adopted, by using a questionnaire directed to the head of each BHU addressing the following aspects: (i) training of health professionals for PWD care; (ii) infrastructure (architectural and working conditions); and (iii) profile of PWD assisted in the BHU. In this research, only 36 questionnaires were answered, and the results showed that: (i) there is little intimacy among the professionals in the BHU and the PWD population assisted, which indicates lack of training at graduation, of the support team, as well as lack of targeted health programs; (ii) the BHU’s do not have infrastructural conditions, whether architectural or support material, focused on PWD attention; (iii) none of the evaluated BHU’s has health programs focused on PWD. The conclusion is that there are weaknesses related to all the points evaluated in this research, regarding the health care of PWD in BHS’s in compliance with the determinations of the Brazilian law.
