RESUMO

Effective management of a pandemic due to a respiratory virus requires public health capacity for a coordinated response for mandatory restrictions, large-scale testing to identify infected individuals, capacity to isolate infected cases and track and test contacts, and health services for those infected who require hospitalization. Because of contextual and socioeconomic factors, it has been hard for Latin America to confront this epidemic. In this article, we discuss the context and the initial responses of eight selected Latin American countries, including similarities and differences in public health, economic, and fiscal measures, and provide reflections on what worked and what did not work and what to expect moving forward.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Analyzing the updating the Colombian social security system's mandatory health plan (MHP),from a perspective of the right to health, by comparing and contrasting MHP content valid until 31st December 2009 (POS-2009) with MHP content from 1st January 2012 onwards (POS-2012). METHODOLOGY: This was a descriptive study aimed at ascertaining the quantitative changes made and comparing the characteristics of modifications made in POS-2012 to POS-2009. RESULTS: Variation was observed between the two versions of the MHP regarding the number and characteristics of services and drugs;1,724 new procedures and 128 new medicines were included in the 2012 MHP, while 366 procedures and 79 medicines present in the 2009 MHP were excluded from MHP 2012. Some inclusions were related to frequent writs being issued from 2009-2011 demanding access to such procedures and drugs. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Significant progress was found regarding the content of the 2012 MHP compared to 2009 provision, thereby addressing some of the population's most frequent writs and plaints.
