Propuesta metodológica para la gestión del sistema indígena de salud intercultural

Abstract

Given the struggle to vindicate the rights of indigenous peoples and their legislative processes, health authorities must articulate public policy in health, according to the needs of the cultural context to guarantee rights such as nutrition, quality care and health education according to needs. The objective of this article is to provide methodological guidelines that help to adapt and harmonize a Territorial Public Health Plan with the Indigenous and Intercultural Health System. Critical-propositional research arises from the experience of field work and documentary analysis. A methodological route with seven stages was obtained, the application of which allows the health authority an approach and management of interculturality for the improvement of public policy in health and the good living of indigenous communities. The implementation of this route allows us to assume the policies that have been taking shape in Colombia in the field of inclusion and management of interculturality in health in recent years.
