This paper set out to analyze the evolution of the coverage of ESBs in the Brazilian regions. Data were obtained from the historical consolidated coverage family health, Department of Primary Care / Ministry of Health (2001- 2013) and analyzed in STATA®10.0 program. Through them we observed, distribution of ESB I in 2001: 59.2% - 4.9% -North and Northeast in 2013: 48.5% and 7.8%, respectively. As for the population proportion covered by any kind of ESB, northwest showed a higher proportion of ESB I: 69,1% and Southeast smaller proportion 25,6%. In relating the proportion ESB I / II ESB: 1: 33,4 Northwest- wost and better South: 1: 5,6. In the analysis of mixed effects regression was no significant association between the average number ESB and cover needs. It was concluded that the number of ESB is unsatisfactory, covering only 42,1% of the population, totally apart from the ceiling of 100%. Since its implementation, the ESB I showed exponential growth, while the ESB II showed a slight growth.
