"LA PLANIFICACION DE LA SALUD EN AMERICA LATINA"
Abstract
The evolution of the planning process in Latin America has been closely linked to the development of health services and within the dynamics of the social and economic phenomena of the countries. Since the appearance of social insurance in the 1930s and the cooperative programs with the United States, health administration has been channeled in search of a better organization of its objectives and actions. The Punta del Este Charter, in which health is included as a development sector, serves as a juncture for health administrators, economists and interested persons to design a method called the PAHO/CENDES method.
The PAHO/CENDES method, based on the concept of effectiveness, was of great importance in the formulation of health plans until 1970, when it began to fall into disuse. New concepts were then introduced in the management of planning and techniques were used for systems analysis, institutional and sectoral diagnoses, policy definition and the inclusion of the financial and investment component. The Ten-Year Plan of the Americas, formulated in 1972 during the Third Meeting of Ministers of Health of the Americas, marked a turning point in the Americas. The systems analysis technique was used in a plan of continental scope.
Finally, in view of the proposals made by WHO and PAHO in the sense of using the community as an integral part of the planning process and as a forger of its own development, the concepts of grassroots planning and participatory planning, used today in many Latin American countries, have arisen.
Planning as a body of doctrine and a working tool has been a fundamental factor in the development of health services and much can still be expected from it.
