In this specific matter we use our starting question - definition of homogenous geographic areas for the family nurses distribution in the family health unity of Nova Via appurtenant to the health centers grouping of Espinho/Gaia at the Porto metropolitan region to build a management support adapted to the living reality at a family health unity.
