Over the past decade, according to several important indicators, health conditions have improved in the Region of the Americas. However, inequalities persist among the countries of the Region. This article has two primary objectives: 1) to provide some unbiased evidence on health inequalities among countries of the Region of the Americas and 2) to illustrate the application of some of the more frequently used methods for measuring inequalities, i…

Betrayal of trust

1 Remarks made to participants at the V Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information (CRICS V), Havana, Cuba, 24 April 2001. It has been three years since we met in San Jose, Costa Rica, at the Fourth Pan American Congress on Health Sciences Information, and I have had many opportunities to reflect on the meaning of the Declaration you made there and its relevance to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

La equidad y el futuro por labrar en el campo de la salud
A vision for health system reform in the Americas
Many such terms as “health sector reform” and“health system reform” are used interchangeablyand are perhaps misinterpreted. Therefore, it is wellto begin with some definitions and in this way clar-ify what I mean when I use any of these terms. I un -derstand the health sector to cover all the differentkinds of activities within a society that are under-taken purposely in order to protect and promotehealth, as well as to cure and care for the ill.…
Equity and health
According to Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics, the following quotation was inscribed over the temple of Lelo at Delos: “Justice is fairest and Health is best. But to win one's desire is the pleasantest.” I have always been inspired by this and have come to believe that the practice of medicine, especially that related to the medicine of groups of people, provides the ideal opportunity to combine the concerns about health and justice and win one's desi…

Una nueva revista de salud pública para las Américas
Health and Human Rights
I confess to some trepidation about entering a discussion on human rights and particularly in relation to health, as I sometimes have had a vigorous reaction to my perspectives on some of the common current notions. I grew up with the conviction that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was a credo that could guide my own actions. I considered the basic human rights to be those of life, liberty, and the security of person. Later, I came to b…
