In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The COVID-19 pandemic has become a challenge for science and society, demanding quick responses from health systems. In this perspective, the Municipal Health Department of Salvador implemented the “Salvador Protege” program, aimed at combating the coronavirus and which also aimed to serve to monitor other diseases presented by the population in the postpandemic, using mainly the resources of telemedicine. The initiative's main objective is to protect and care for people, families and communities impacted by the Covid19 pandemic and to develop the work of the Basic Health Units (UBS), especially with family strategy teams, in addition to the activities already carried out by the agents. community health and endemic diseases. Another focus of the program is to protect and support healthcare workers during the pandemic. The present dissertation is an evaluability study of this Program. The evaluability analysis was based on the logical model of Salvador Protege prepared on September 25 and validated on September 29, 2020 and on documents prepared by the SMS of Salvador. The analysis carried out by this study pointed to the existence of a set of challenges for the implementation of the Salvador Protege Program. The program still presents difficulties in its operationalization and does not present, in its design, evaluation and monitoring strategies. For a Health Program to be evaluated, a proposal that considers the monitoring of professionals' activities, accessibility to services and health technologies is necessary. It is important that the formulation and execution of the Program be improved, highlighting the importance of the present study.
