Integralidad y accesibilidad de los cuidados en salud: las prácticas en la atención primaria de la salud (APS) en Bariloche, Argentina

Abstract

Articulated and freely available care for those who require it (Declaration of Astana, World Health Organization and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, 2018) will be the objective of actions in Primary Health Care in the remainder of the 21st century. The comprehensive care and its accessibility according to international documents and programs in each region, are not consistent with situations of social reproduction in contexts of marked inequalities. Since June 2019 we have been developing ethnographic field work in two Primary Health Care Centers (CAPS) in San Carlos de Bariloche, an andean site in Río Negro province. We seek to problematize the Astana proposal based on the care practices identified and carried out by health workers and social organizations, aimed at populations living in precarious living and working conditions. We maintain that the care practices that are produced locally express values that redefine views on health and well-being usually thought from the biomedical field, based on historical-collective experiences.
