  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.
