Misión Barrio Adentro
Venezuelan success story on bringing health care to the marginalized
María Páez Victor, MA, Ph.D
For decades the Venezuelan people suffered compounded neglect of its
health needs, both in terms of medical care as well as in terms of the
social and economic determinants of health. The democratic government
of Hugo Chávez, recognizing the immediate health needs of the
Venezuelan people, bypassed ineffective governmental ministries and,
with the help of Cuba and the active participation of the very people
who needed services, created one of the most spectacularly successful
health care initiatives today. In this presentation we will examine
the
dynamics, achievements and challenges of this innovative health care
delivery initiative.
Dr. María Páez Victor is a Venezuelan-born sociologist and consultant
who teaches Sociology of Health and Medicine at the University of
Toronto.
