The Lancet Editorial highlights social prescribing as a key component of health systems.1 In Brazil, this concept aligns well with the Family Health Strategy, a long-standing primary care model comprising over 55 000 multidisciplinary teams and 300 000 community health agents, which provides continuous care and fosters trust with families and communities.2 This closeness embodies the core of social prescribing: a care approach that surpasses clinical symptoms to identify social vulnerabilities and connect individuals with local support networks.
