Objective: To investigate, estimate and diagnose the role of Primary Health Care (PHC) in coping with schistosomiasis mansoni in Brazil. Methods: This is a systematic review study to evaluate the performance of PHC in the context of schistosomiasis, since the creation of PACS. Data were obtained using the PRISMA methodology (1991-April/2021). Results: The search identified 14 works, most of them developed in the state of Pernambuco. The findings of this study show a relatively low number of studies addressing Primary Care as the main health policy for basic care for schistosomiasis, as well as the fragility of articulation between surveillance and PHC. Conclusions: It was identified the need for more studies that discuss PHC as an important level of care and a viable strategy for the control of schistosomiasis, which still maintains incipient actions contributing to the disease persisting as a public health problem in Brazil.
