The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the differences in the degree of implementation among the different teams using a 5% level of significance.Results The structures were found to be incipient, with significant statistical differences in materials (p<0.05). Processes were evaluated as advanced, with statistical difference being observed for Primary Health Care principles, local work planning, monitoring, and women's and children's health (p<0.05). Outcomes were classified as advanced, and no statistical difference was found in the analyzed items.Conclusion The overall implementation of the Primary Health Care Master Plan in Unai was considered incipient, that is, it is in an initial stage.
