Polyclinic, in "La Lisa" municipality. It was concluded that in spite of the fact that health surveillance is a priority for the Ministry of Public Health, and is also an indispensable tool to attain the goals, purposes and guidelines in 2000, the family physicians have not received the necessary training to carry out this function. It was proved that most of the family physicians do not feel stimulated and are not interested in the assistance work, and that also have an administrative overload. These factors seriously impede their participation in health surveillance
