Introduction: Obesity-management challenges faced in Primary Health Care (PHC) can be associated with multiple factors. Aim: Identifying the potential and weaknesses in childhood obesity-management processes in the PHC service of Betim County, MG. Methods: Descriptive and qualitative research based on three focus groups carried out in videoconference format. Participants received an online form comprising questions about their sociodemographic data (sex, age and schooling) and professional performance (profession, hiring type, working hours and time working in PHC). Two trained researchers used a guiding script with ten questions. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed based on Content Analysis. Results: In total, 14 professionals participated in the study, 78.5% of them belonged to the female sex, their median age was 38 years and most of them were physical education professionals (42.8%). Seven categories and eight subcategories in childhood obesity management were identified; 60 weaknesses and 20 potentials were taken into consideration. Subcategory “Work processes” was the one mostly seen as weakness (n=30). With respect to potentials, “School: health promotion space” was seen as important category (n=9), since school is one of the places for proper and healthy eating promotion. Conclusion: From PHC professionals’ perspective, the school is potentially effective in managing childhood obesity.
