This is a literature review aimed at key ethical problems within the Family Health Strategy. 15 articles published between 1994 and 2012 and texts considered complementary were used. It could be highlighted in the results, three major categories of bioethical issues: 1) those concerning relations between professionals/workers and users of the health system; 2) those relating to relations between professionals/workers in the field of staff; and 3) those related to ethical-political relations, related to intersectionality, in the Health System sphere - and a fourth category, linked to the environmental sphere, which still needs better empirical and conceptual boundaries. The final considerations indicate the main complicating factors to a proper approach to the bioethical problems in Family Health Strategy and the possibilities of their addressing from the employment of strategies for continuing education and analysis based on the theoretical principles of bioethics protection and bioethics intervention.
