It was concluded that the most used services were the family physician's offices (82.24 %), nursing (53.84 %) and diagnostic tools (46.15 %). The female patients aged 60-69 used these services more. Aged patients from the rural areas used more the family physician's offices (59.72%) and the diagnostic tools services (58.98 %), whereas the patients from the urban sector made more use of the nursing services (73.63 %). Predominant satisfaction states were registered excepting the dental and ambulance services.
