* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001; Cluster robust standard errors employed; PMM implementation variable divided into three categories based on percentage of PMM doctors that were Brazilian; Dummies denoting categories interacted with dummy variable for PMM implementation to obtain effect sizes for each category in one regression model per each outcome; Adjusted for Health expenditure (R$) per capita, Private insurance plan coverage (%), Hospital beds per 1000 pop, GDP per capita, Bolsa Familia expenditure per poor person, Illiteracy rate (15 + year), Households with inadequate sanitation (%), Urbanisation rate (%), Income (R$) per capita, Households with no electricity (%), and state-year-quarter and municipal fixed effects; Doctor densities expressed per 100,000 population. Amenable mortality rate per 100,000 population aged under 75 years
