• Abstract: The general objective of this study is to analyze the Health Conditions Performance Index in two border cities, seeking to identify the efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of public health policies in the border region between Brazil and Bolivia. Factor analysis was used to create the health index based on the correlation of environmental, sociodemographic and administrative financial indexes. The tool for tabulating and generating the indices was SPSS. All indices performed bad, with no improvement over a period corresponding to 10 years. It is concluded that the cities of Guajará-Mirim and Guayaramerín face great difficulties to provide and guarantee complete environmental, social and economic well-being. Therefore, it is imperative that border municipalities develop specific public policies to promote, protect and recover the health of the population.
