Reforma en salud en el siglo XXI
La mayor paradoja de la sociedad humana en el siglo XXI es la vertiginosa aceleración de un neoextractivismo desbocado, y el colapso de los principios y valores que hacen posible un bien vivir saludable. Esto se agrava en tiempos actuales, paradójicamente, cuando la humanidad alcanza los más altos umbrales del conocimiento y la tecnología. El crecimiento exponencial y paralelo de la acumulación privada de riqueza, junto con la reproducción de una…
The social determination of health and the transformation of rights and ethics
The hyper-neoliberal era has seen the collapse of the ethos of life and the formation of a civilisation of extreme greed. In this global context, the pre-eminence of a technologically endowed but epistemologically and ethically misguided form of science has contributed to forms of 'scientific illiteracy' and strategies of planned ignorance that nourish a neo-conservative form of governance. The challenge of transforming the paradigm of bioethics …

Social transformation, collective health and community-based arts
Worldwide, interest is increasing in community-based arts to promote social transformation. This study analyzes one such case. Ecuador's government, elected in 2006 after decades of neoliberalism, introduced Buen Vivir ('good living' derived from the Kichwan sumak kawsay), to guide development. Plans included launching a countrywide programme using circus arts as a sociocultural intervention for street-involved youth and other marginalised groups…
Why language matters
BACKGROUND: Focus on "social determinants of health" provides a welcome alternative to the bio-medical illness paradigm. However, the tendency to concentrate on the influence of "risk factors" related to living and working conditions of individuals, rather than to more broadly examine dynamics of the social processes that affect population health, has triggered critical reaction not only from the Global North but especially from voices the Global…
Determinación Social De La Salud Como Herramienta De Transformación Hacia Una Nueva Salud Pública (Salud Colectiva)
La determinación social de la salud es una de las tres categorías centrales de la propuesta para una epidemiología crítica, enunciada desde mediados de la década del 70 y luego desarrollada y complementada por otros autores especialmente de la corriente latinoamericana .Junto con las categorías reproducción social y metabolismo sociedad-naturaleza han conformado el eje teórico de una propuesta de ruptura con el paradigma dominante de la salud púb…
The Ethics of Ethics Reviews in Global Health Research
Establishing a community of practice of researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and communities to sustainably manage environmental health risks in Ecuador
BACKGROUND: The Sustainably Managing Environmental Health Risk in Ecuador project was launched in 2004 as a partnership linking a large Canadian university with leading Cuban and Mexican institutes to strengthen the capacities of four Ecuadorian universities for leading community-based learning and research in areas as diverse as pesticide poisoning, dengue control, water and sanitation, and disaster preparedness. METHODS: In implementing curricu…
Collaboration between infection control and occupational health in three continents
Globalization has been accompanied by the rapid spread of infectious diseases, and further strain on working conditions for health workers globally. Post-SARS, Canadian occupational health and infection control researchers got together to study how to better protect health workers, and found that training was indeed perceived as key to a positive safety culture. This led to developing information and communication technology (ICT) tools. The rese…
La subversión del buen vivir (rebeldía esclarecida para el siglo XXI
The debate surrounding the civilizational model of Western modernity, with its economy of concentration and exclusion based in oil energy and unsustainable resource extraction, has revived, in the political and academic arenas of the health field, discussion of the "good life" ideal inscribed in the new constitutions of Bolivia and Ecuador. In light of this social, health, and environmental crisis spurred by the imposition of an economy of death,…
La epidemiología crítica
Empirical-analytic epidemiology builds its interpretive framework around categories like "place" and constructs layers of empirical association through modern GIS software. Critical epidemiology in Latin America questions this approach and articulates an innovative view of spatial health analysis that intertwines the contributions of philosophy, political economy, and social geography to rethink the social determination of urban-rural relationshi…
Nuevo modelo de acumulación y agroindustria
El artículo refere-se a una investigación de los procesos que ha generado la producción florícola en el ecosistema de la Cuenca del Rio Granobles (zonas de Cayambe y de Tabacundo) y su impacto en el ecosistema y la salud humana. Para abarcar ese complejo objeto de estudio y sus múltiples dimensiones se ha requerido un enfoque interdisciplinario y además una construcción intercultural, desde los siguientes componentes: a) dinámica de los plaguicid…
Sociodemographic and nutritional correlates of neurobehavioral development
The results suggest a high prevalence of developmental delay and poor child health in this population. Child health status and the child's environment may contribute to developmental delay in this region of Ecuador, but sociodemographic factors affecting opportunities for stimulation may also play a role. Research is needed to identify what is causing high percentages of neurobehavioral developmental delay in this region of Ecuador

All Hands on Deck
El Movimiento de Salud de los Pueblos
We are moving away from the year 2000, and the goal of "health for all" remains distant. Economic globalization, which many consider to be one of the most serious threats to health, moves ahead, along with globalization of international health policies. A small number of powerful actors are in charge of setting the agenda, and they relegate to an inferior position the World Health Organization, which has moved away from the goal of "health for al…
Un estudio dignificante
De la vigilancia convencional al monitoreo participativo
La necesidad de transformar el monitoreo de la salud de un instrumento funcional al sistema dominante de poder en una herramienta del poder colectivo, y de negociación del desarrollo de la salud laboral y el bienestar, implica la urgente transformación de la vieja vigilancia epidemiológica en un monitoreo participativo. Debe superarse el sistema convencional de información en salud, que observa fundamentalmente los "factores de enfermedad" y sus …
Medicina social latinoamericana
This piece presents and analyzes a number of issues related to social medicine: the context of the emergence of social medicine; the differences between social medicine and public health; the theories, methods, and debates in social medicine; the main subjects or problems considered in social medicine; and the difficulties of disseminating the concepts of social medicine among English-speaking persons and among medical and public health professio…
A minister of health
Should challenge trendy global corporatism Regrettably it is in the so called “democracies” of the North and South where globalisation has become the scenario for market fundamentalism and an absurd race to the bottom, in which economical and social rights have been demolished and countries compete for, what will in fact, see the situation of first being the worst in human terms. The neoliberal state in those democracies has installed a process o…
Debate on the paper by Naomar de Almeida Filho
In the va rious disciplines comprising the socalled health field, we observe timid attempts at conceptually constructing the " h e a l t h" object (Cze resnia, 1999: Levine, 1995), in contra s t with the extensive efforts at developing biomedical disease models (Abed, 1993; Be r l i n g u e r, 1988; Mu r p h y, 1965; Prez -Ta m a yo, 1988; Temkin, 1963), emphasizing the individual and sub-individual levels of analysis

Derrota del conocimiento por la información
La sociedad de mercado se expandió hasta un proceso de totalización global de los monopolios, viabilizado por el flujo y disponibilidad instantáneos de información (mensajes, valores y cálculos) sobre la base técnica de la comunicación digital, teleinformática e hipermedia y un gran proceso de industrialización de la memoria. En ese contexto, la información desde una perspectiva humana y democrática sólo puede construirse incorporando a las colec…
