[The genesis of the Family Health Support Center (NASF) in the primary healthcare agenda in Brazil].

The article reports on the sociogenesis of the Family Health Support Center (NASF) in Brazil, based on document analysis and 16 in-depth interviews with key informants.

Four moments were identified in the history of the NASF: from 2000 to 2002, the first discussion for building a proposal to expand the family healthcare (PHC) teams; from 2003 to 2005, drafting a proposal to expand the core team, with the design centered on curative and individual interventions (NAISF); from 2005 to 2006, the repeal of the Brazilian Ministry of Health ruling that established the first proposal, revealing a "vacuum" in the debate on the expansion of PHC teams; and from 2007 to 2008, when the NASF was created with the central purpose of inter-consultation support activities with the family health teams.
