Regulación del financiamiento y la provisión
Este artículo propone un marco analítico para reinterpretar la segmentación y fragmentación de los sistemas de salud de América Latina y el Caribe, centrándose en las relaciones asimétricas entre actores como causa estructural de ineficiencias e inequidades. A diferencia del enfoque tradicional, que atribuye estos problemas a la mera coexistencia de múltiples esquemas de financiamiento y provisión, esta propuesta integra el paradigma estructura-c…

Digital transformation to overcoming access barriers
The digital transformation of the health sector offers innovative solutions to overcome significant barriers to health care access, which vary across regions and disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.This transformation goes beyond simply adopting new technologies; it involves a fundamental rethinking of health care delivery to make it more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered through digital tools and platforms.Digital health s…
Regulation and performance of health systems
The private health sector has expanded significantly in recent decades, both in Latin America and other regions. Governments and international organizations have dealt with this process in a heterogeneous manner. A policy approach and, above all, a regulatory framework, are required in order to put health objectives and the right to health above the profit motive that drives private sector participation. This paper reviews frameworks for analyzin…

A partir de fuentes documentales fueron destacadas tres dimensiones: compromiso político, liderazgo y gobernanza; modelo de atención; involucramiento de comunidades y otros actores. Los resultados indican la existencia de compromiso formal que localiza la APS en el centro de los esfuerzos para lograr el acceso universal. Se observan proce…
Perspectives for Primary Health Care public policy in South America
We aim to conduct a comparative analysis of the implementation of PHC in nine South American countries. Three dimensions were highlighted from documentary sources: political commitment, leadership, and governance; care model; and engagement of communities and other stakeholders. The results indicate a formal commitment that places PHC at the center of efforts to achieve universal access. The following can be observed: revitalization processes in …

Assessing capacities and resilience of health services during the Covid-19 pandemic
This article is part of the Research Topic: 'Health Systems Recovery in the Context of COVID-19 and Protracted Conflict.' Problem: Many countries lacked rapid and nimble data systems to track health service capacities to respond to COVID-19. They struggled to assess and monitor rapidly evolving service disruptions, health workforce capacities, health products availability, community needs and perspectives, and mitigation responses to maintain ess…
Using mixed methods to understand and tackle barriers to accessing health services
This report describes the experience and lessons learnt from designing and implementing a combined quantitative and qualitative method to assess barriers to accessing health services. This approach was developed to study barriers to access in five dimensions: availability; geographical, financial, and organizational accessibility; acceptability; contact; and effective coverage. The study design was used in six countries in the World Health Organi…
La importancia del enfoque de género en la construcción de sistemas de salud resilientes, equitativos y universales
La pandemia de la enfermedad por el coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19, por su sigla en inglés) demostró la necesidad de reforzar el enfoque de género desde una perspectiva integradora y multisectorial para el abordaje de las problemáticas en salud. Este artículo busca destacar la importancia de incorporar y fortalecer el enfoque de género en las políticas de construcción de sistemas de salud resilientes, equitativos y universales. Con este objetivo, se …

Aportes del nuevo marco para las funciones esenciales de salud pública a la lucha contra la pandemia de Covid-19
En el presente artículo se utiliza una perspectiva de rectoría de la salud, con el fin de interpretar las fortalezas y los obstáculos relativos a las capacidades de las autoridades nacionales de salud para responder ante la pandemia de COVID-19, a través del marco renovado de las funciones esenciales de salud pública (FESP). Sobre la base de una revisión bibliográfica, se sostiene que las capacidades institucionales que necesitan los países de la…
Contributions of the New Framework for Essential Public Health Functions to Addressing the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article uses a health stewardship perspective to interpret the strengths of and challenges to national health authorities’ capacities to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic through the renewed essential public health functions (EPHF) framework. Based on a literature review, this article argues that the institutional capacities required by countries to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Americas included all 4 stages of the new EPHF policy …
Monitoring access barriers to health services in the Americas
Objective. To map the range of access barriers indicators for which data can be derived from household surveys in the Americas. Methods. A systematic mapping review study was conducted to identify access dimensions and indicators of access barriers for general health services already described in the literature; and identify whether data for those indicators could be derived from household surveys in the Americas and what was the methodology used…
A renewed framework for the essential public health functions in the Americas
This report presents the results of a consensus decision making process conducted to elaborate a renewed conceptual framework of the essential public health functions for the Americas. The emerging framework consists of four pillars encompassing action-oriented components relating to the new scope and concerns of public health. The four pillars call for adopting a human rights approach to public health, addressing the social determinants of healt…
Leveraging household survey data to measure barriers to health services access in the Americas
Objective. To identify advantages and challenges of using household survey data to measure access barriers to health services in the Americas and to report findings from most recent surveys. Methods. Descriptive cross-sectional study using data retrieved from publicly available nationally representative household surveys carried out in 27 countries of the Americas. Values for indicators of access barriers for forgone care were generated using ava…

Construcción de un marco de monitoreo para la salud universal
The objective of the study is to construct a conceptual framework for monitoring progress on policies and actions aimed at reaching universal health.Conceptual models and proposed methodologies for monitoring universal health coverage and access were reviewed. A literature review was also done to select relevant indicators. This review was supplemented with a process of consultation with health systems experts from the Region of the Americas.A co…
Lógicas de transformación de los sistemas de salud en América Latina y resultados en acceso y cobertura de salud
Health system reforms can be described in terms of the type of transformations promoted. Reforms that focus on expanding insurance coverage improve financial protection but do not result in positive changes in access. Reforms that prioritize transformations in the organization of health services lead to improved access, yet a large proportion of the population continues to report barriers to access in the countries studied. The socioeconomic cond…
Russian Theatre in the 20th Century
Russia could hardly be said to have entered the 20th Century with all flags flying. Indeed, all was not as gold as the glitter of her domes. A scant five years later she became embroiled in a bloody civil war, and while that insurrection was put down and relative calm ensued for the next decade, it should have been clear to any sensitive observer that the old order was on the brink of collapse, that horrendous violence was seething just beneath t…
