Health influences people’s lives on a daily basis, with personal as well as economic repercussions. Despite its importance, it is not high on the public agenda.
Historically, investment in this area in Argentina has been adequate according to GDP, and the health system covers the entire national territory, but being born, giving birth, living and dying in different corners of the country implies differences: avoidable advantages and disadvantages. However, being born, giving birth, living and dying in different corners of the country implies differences: avoidable advantages and disadvantages. Health, including mental health, depends not only on the individual, but also on collective well-being and the social systems that support it.
What does this mean? Something is wrong with the way health is organised in Argentina. Although investment is adequate, the results are far from equitable.
We work to strengthen the health agenda, how? We think of ways to reduce inequalities, we build consensus to improve it and we contribute to everyday issues that affect us. We want to make problems visible and propose solutions.
An equitable and sustainable health system is possible and we are working to achieve it.
