Objective: to assess and evaluate the path of people with disabilities to the Family Health Unit (Brazilian Public Health System). Method: this is an observational, descriptive and qualitative study. Data collection occurred between November 2015 and March 2016 in districts of the periphery of the largest municipality in the middle north of Mato Grosso state, Brazil, through observation script, photographs, tape measurements and field diaries. The images were interpreted by iconographic analysis. Results: carelessness and disregard for the ethical and environmental issues of other residents were evident in the study, collaborating or intensifying urban barriers to inaccessibility of persons with disabilities. Among the barriers encountered, predominated discontinuity and obstacles on sidewalks. Conclusion: In order to eliminate these barriers and promote greater social inclusion are necessary public awareness policies, information practices of the rights of the people with disabilities and full compliance with the rights of people with disabilities, mainly driven by health professionals, and the sensitive eye of the management bodies.Downloads
