The technical capacity of the General Comprehensive Physicians, parasitology laboratory technicians and epidemiologists from the health area of "Centro Habana" municipality was assessed from January to April, 1996, aimed at evaluating the quality of primary health care in relation to the prevention and control of intestinal parasitism. Surveys, external quality controls and individual interviews were made. It was found that there was no integration in the actions of the evaluated groups. Medical difficulties for the prevention and control of intestinal parasitosis as well as technical deficiencies in the laboratories were found. It was observed that epidemiologists had little knowledge about the program of intestinal parasitism. The training of technicians and professionals and the creation of a methodology that allows to reorient and optimize the national program of intestinal parasitism were recommended
