Abstract

Health Systems in much of Latin America have faced serious structural problems such as a large and complex administrative structure, lack of trained and updated in handling art medical equipment, financial problems, and corruption, so governments in the region have been in the need for an economic model that emerged in the United States of America with the Washington consensus whose goal is that Latin American countries improve their economic conditions. However, these measures do not take into account economic cultural and social aspects, known as social determinants of health, which has resulted in not meeting all objectives set out in this economic model.
