The health system of a municipality has in their day-to-day challenge of ensuring that all its service network and information systems and work is executed in full, following the prerogatives of the SUS, not only ensuring the right of access health services as well as developing activities to prevent major diseases and disorders that plague the citizens of the municipality. In this context, this paper is to investigate the spatial organization of the city of São Cristóvão-SE Health Systems, with emphasis on Health Units agreements with the SUS. Through this goal, one approach is to recognize how these units are structured, and this was based on multiple meanings of space, both in geography and in view of health agencies. For this it was necessary to carry out the field work, construction and supply of georeferenced database and preparation of thematic maps. In total 21 health establishments that are part of the municipal Health System, to analyze the data collected were identified, it can be noted that the distribution of health facilities is disproportionate to the need of the population, since they are located mostly in two areas, the Municipal Headquarters and Housing Complex Rosa Elze, leaving areas without a proper physical structure and human health. It was observed that the total number of people served in the establishments is not proportional to the size of the coverage area of each unit, in this case it appears that there must be an error in filling these data, despite going up in 2012 are the most recent. Given the results of this study, we propose initially to managers distribute the units of health according to the population covered, distribute specialties according to the needs of health, contextualize the services to be offered from the analysis of life and work local population. Otherwise it will be possible to improve the services offered, creating healthy spaces where access to health will be increasingly closer to changing surface integral, benefiting the local population.
