LA PLANIFICACION DE LA SALUD COMO IDEOLOGIA
Abstract
The exercise for more than a decade of the discipline of Planning in the specific area of health, has prompted us to try to delve a little into the reasons that have determined its insufficient development and more importantly, the symptoms of the definitive crisis of this discipline, which already appear in the daily occurrence of the technocracy that directs the destinies of health in our continent under the devalued form of health programming.
Our initial hypothesis is simply that the process of Health Planning, conceived and based on the assumptions on which it was founded, which since the 1960s began to be known as Planning in Latin America, could only be reduced to a technocratic activity, without major consequences for the development of the region, for the particular development of the health sector and, worst of all, without significant consequences on the health status of the community.
An analysis of the many definitions of the discipline of planning that have been given since the Second World War, which corresponds precisely to the period in which the capitalist system began to take an interest in the subject, conditioned by the achievements obtained in this field by the socialist countries, can help us to glimpse the ideological and political assumptions on which the whole scaffolding of planning in our continent was built.
