SESAI coordinates with the Special Indigenous Health Districts (DSEIs, acronym in Portuguese) and these are also supported by the municipal and state health secretariats, in addition to the Health Regulatory Secretariat.

Within the scope of PNASPI, each DSEI has a Multidisciplinary Indigenous Health Team (EMSI, acronym in Portuguese).  EMSIs serve at the community health clinics and at the Base Centers. A set of health clinics from different communities are linked to a Base Center.
The Base Center coordinates the work of EMSI. AIS and AISAN are part of this team and represent an important link between the indigenous population and the larger health team.

AIS or AISAN, as a coordinator between community members and other health professionals and services, requires knowledge of people's daily lives, which allows them to value and respect local values and cultures.

It is important that AIS and AISAN know all the people and institutions that develop policy interventions in the territory.
