Material and Method: a descriptive research was carried out considering the opinions of 234 professionals polled and a composed-survey that included 5 questions with 5 options in order to choice the most acceptable ones. Results were processed using descriptive statistics to determine the absolute and relative frequencies represented in tables. Results: the answers were related to the current problems, a crisis in moral values reached 64,5% of the answers of professionals; more than 50% thought this crisis could be avoided in part, they recommended better wage conditions to strengthen motivations, in more than three-fifth parts and 32% considered humanistic formation of professionals should be better to improve the organization of health services.
