Abstract
This study sought to report and to discuss the technical, operational and structural strategies for configuring the health care network for pregnant women and children exposed to toxoplasmosis, in public health services located in northwestern Paraná state, southern Brazil. A qualitative case study was conducted focusing on the configuration of care in gestational and congenital toxoplasmosis towards the health care network model recommended by the Ministry of Health. The discussion was conducted focusing on the concept of network proposed by Rovere. The study revealed the strength of the establishment of interpersonal bonds in the configuration of network services, the importance of integrating them to ensure comprehensive care and the construction of ever more consistent networks. This work represents an innovative strategy with a high degree of reproducibility in health services and is applicable to planning, management policies and actions aimed at maternal and child health.
