Universal assurance in Peru: health financing reform in rights perspectives
Journal Title: Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Publica - Year 2009, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
This article exposes the main aspects of the Law 29344, Framework Law on Universal Health Assurance, and then approaches three key aspects related to its approval, from a rights point of view: the programmatic readjustment of the doctrine about social security and health that held the Interamerican Development Bank; the System of the Health Maintenance Organizations, as models of regulation and financing, and the continuity of the speeches about assurance plans. We conclude that the emphasis in the economic and financial aspects that the assurance poses, as the law develops, limits healthy public policies and health rights to what is concrete, with an external-user logic, very close to the speech about quality of services or speeches on prevention of risks in individual health.
