A descriptive study was carried out, transversal, retrospective, based on the care of patients identified as vulnerable by the family doctor during the period from June to December of 2018 through: home visits, outpatient consultations and through the review of the respective medical records. SPSS version 15 statistical software was used to analyze the data. The variables of the study were represented according to the appropriate statistical measures. In the situational analysis of the "Barrio Medico Strategy", a total of 218 vulnerable patients were identified, among them the most prevalent age group are the Elderly (38%), the highest percentage are female (56%), most vulnerable patients are people with physical and intellectual disability in abandonment (42%); Chronic Non-communicable diseases (35%); 93% of vulnerable patients received comprehensive treatment, only 21% received rehabilitation - care, and 26% of home visits if the strategy is complied with. The actions planned by the Neighborhood Medical Strategy in vulnerable patients have not fulfilled the expected goal since it is not evident that only in 26% of home visits have complied with the strategy, only 21% of the patients received rehabilitation and care, but 93% received adequate follow-up from the family doctor. It was corroborated that the elderly, females and persons with disabilities was the most vulnerable group.
