Abstract: Planning and implementing health policies and practices in countries with Primary Health Care-oriented systems must recognize and manage social inequality issues in health, which hinder comprehensive and equitable care. A widely advocated strategy for detecting and dealing with such challenges is the notion of cultural competence (CC). In this article, we will present the notion of CC, its criticisms, and theoretical-practical alternatives and, then, a narrative review of Brazilian publications related to healthcare in the Family Health Strategy. Recognizing sociocultural diversity in planning health interventions in Brazil is essential, given that it is an extremely diverse country, whose health system is organized on the premises of the Health Reform but that presents important inequities still. We argue that the inclusion and the negotiation of sociocultural differences in health practices would benefit from the observation of the social-historical context and the reflection on the Brazilian health care experiences and the everyday care practices within the communities.
