Cobertura y acceso a los servicios de salud para el abordaje de la tuberculosis / Coverage and access to health services for addressing Tuberculosis

RESUMEN Introducción: La estrategia cobertura universal podría contribuir a eliminar la tuberculosis como problema de salud. Objetivo: Actualizar los elementos teóricos sobre la cobertura y acceso a los servicios de salud para el abordaje de la tuberculosis. Metodología: Revisión bibliográfica y documental en bases de datos digitales de ciencias de la salud. Se usaron los descriptores: "acceso", "servicios de salud", "tuberculosis". Los expertos seleccionaron y ordenaron los artículos por temáticas para realizar el análisis de contenidos. Resultados: Se presentan las diferentes perspectivas y críticas desde la noción de acceso equitativo de los servicios de salud. Esta podría ayudar a un abordaje integrador de la tuberculosis desde la lógica de justicia social y el derecho a la salud. Se enfatiza en la activación del principio de responsabilidad moral en todos los niveles del sistema y desde el punto de vista ético igual acceso real y efectivo a los cuidados de salud, preventivos y curativos, a través de su redistribución diferenciada. Estos elementos son sustrato para fortalecer las políticas de salud y su efectividad. Conclusiones: se actualizó los aspectos teóricos de acceso universal para el abordaje de la tuberculosis. Se evidenció que el enfoque de equidad de la lógica de justicia social y derecho a la salud constituye el punto de partida para actuar con un enfoque sociocultural sobre las desigualdades que influyen en la determinación social de esta enfermedad. La construcción de políticas para su eliminación necesita cambios en el pensar y actuar de todos los sectores de la comunidad.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The universal coverage strategy could contribute to eliminate tuberculosis as a health problem. Objective: To update the theoretical elements on universal coverage and access to health services for addressing Tuberculosis. Methodology: It was carried out a bibliographic and documentary review in digital databases of health sciences. The descriptors used were: "access", "health services", "tuberculosis". The experts selected and ordered the articles by topics to perform the content analysis. Results: Different perspectives and reviews were presented from the notion of equitable access to health services. This could help to have an integrative approach to tuberculosis from the logic of social justice and the right to health. Emphasis is placed on the activation of the principle of moral responsibility at all levels of the system and from the ethical point of view of equal real and effective access to health, preventive and curative care, through its differentiated redistribution. These elements are a substrate to strengthen health policies and their effectiveness. Conclusions: The theoretical aspects of universal access to address Tuberculosis were updated. It was evidenced that the equity approach of the logic of social justice and the right to health constitutes the starting point to act with a sociocultural approach on inequitable and avoidable inequalities that influence the social determination of this disease. The creation of policies for their elimination requires changes in the state of mind and acting of all sectors of the community.

The value of virtual conferencing for ecology and conservation.

The objectives of conservation science and dissemination of its research create a paradox: Conservation is about preserving the environment, yet scientists spread this message at conferences with heavy carbon footprints. Ecology and conservation science depend on global knowledge exchange-getting the best science to the places it is most needed. However, conference attendance from developed countries typically outweighs that from developing countries that are biodiversity and conservation hotspots. If any branch of science should be trying to maximize participation while minimizing carbon emissions, it is conservation. Virtual conferencing is common in other disciplines, such as education and humanities, but it is surprisingly underused in ecology and conservation. Adopting virtual conferencing entails a number of challenges, including logistics and unified acceptance, which we argue can be overcome through planning and technology. We examined 4 conference models: a pure-virtual model and 3 hybrid hub-and-node models, where hubs stream content to local nodes. These models collectively aim to mitigate the logistical and administrative challenges of global knowledge transfer. Embracing virtual conferencing addresses 2 essential prerequisites of modern conferences: lowering carbon emissions and increasing accessibility for remote, time- and resource-poor researchers, particularly those from developing countries.

Bioética del derecho al agua potable / Bioethics of the right to drinking water

Se observa también, que en la prestación del servicio domiciliario de agua potable en Colombia, servicio que ha de ser asumido como derechos humanos fundamental, hoy enColombia se conrroboran aspectos preocupantes en relación a la prestación de este servicio fundamental en los que se evidencia improvisación, manejo bajo la lógica del negocio y aplicación por ende de modelos inequitativos de prestación de servicios públicos.

It is observed that in the provision of the service of drinking water in Colombia, a service that has to be taken as a fundamental human right. Today in Colombia, worrying aspects as for the provision of this key service are corroborated, in which improvisation is made evident, which is carried out under the logics of business and the application, therefore, of inequitable models of the provision of public utilities.
