description Abstract Objectives: to analyze the dimensions of policy, structure and organization in the construction of Redes de Atenção à Saúde (RAS) (healthcare networks) in the health region of Manaus, Entorno and Alto Rio Negro, focusing on Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) (primary healthcare) and Rede de Urgência e Emergência (RUE) (urgency and emergency network). Methods: a case study with multidimensional analysis using quantitative and qualitative approach carried out in the first semester of 2016.
