Objective: To characterize the functioning of the current activity planning procedure of the Ministry of Public Health and its effects on administrative processes.

Methods: A qualitative phenomenological research with a managerial approach was carried out during the period from January 2011 to December 2021. From the application of affinity diagramming techniques, categories emerged that were used as units of analysis. The discourses were organized from the point of view of large effects, intermediate effects and causes with a view to finding the dominant effects. The flaws expressed in the discourses seen as gaps were catalogued and thus given a connotation of impact on the conception and execution of the planning system.

Results: It was achieved an evidence-based characterization of how the Ministry of Public Health's activities planning procedure works, its effects on administrative processes, and what decisions should be made to this end.

Conclusions: The procedure for planning activities of the Ministry of Public Health does not achieve benefits in the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative processes in the agency and its dependencies.
