Conceptualización y método para revisitar la gestión de la salud pública y la provisión de servicios de salud en los municipios de la Región Metropolitana.

Resumen

An appropriate conceptualization process, consisting of an in-depth reflection about the role of organisms responsible for primary health care, which in Chile are the municipalities, should be carried out. Such exercise should enable the development of an analytical method aiming to understand management problems and bottlenecks in a determinate territory or region. Thus, changes to improve resource use effectiveness, with an impact in population health, could be proposed.
