The study aims to describe features of the organizational structure of post-partum care in the Family Health Strategy, based on requirements present in the national health policy relating to the infrastructure, personnel, care actions and management. The study is quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional, and was undertaken in 55 Family Health Strategy clinics in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso (MT), through interviews and descriptive statistical analysis. The majority of clinics meet the requirements of physical infrastructure and the offer of actions in the post-partum period. There are limitations in the offering of nursing consultations, group education, and oral contraception for use in the post-partum period. Material for the prevention of cervical cancer is not always available in the clinics; neither are doctors. The scheduling of post-partum consultations is not routine and data from the information system is not habitually used in planning this care. It is necessary to invest in improving the organizational structure for post-partum care to improve in quality.
