Cuidados populares medicalizados, cuidados biomédicos popularizados. La inclusión de las parteras tradicionales en el sistema de salud del oriente de Guatemala

Abstract

La necesidad de ampliar los porcentajes de cobertura sanitaria en Guatemala ha motivado la descentralización sanitaria y la inclusión de las comadronas tradicionales y un fortalecimiento de la participación comunitaria en las zonas rurales. En el texto se discute sobre las ventajas e inconvenientes de este hecho y se critica la veracidad de las cifras de cobertura biomédica. Este fortalecimiento de la participación comunitaria en una realidad multicultural como la que se describe implica algo más que un simple proceso de formación médica, sino que envuelve aspectos tan singulares como formas diferentes de entender y atender la salud e incluso construir y entender el mundo. La realidad de esta formación y la consiguiente atención médica que se presta dista, en numerosas ocasiones, de los patrones de atención biomédica que parecen reflejar las cifras y se acerca más a un tipo de atención donde lo lego y lo profesional, lo popular y lo biomédico se solapan y confunden.

Needs for increasing percentages of health care in Guatemala gave way to health decentralization in order to include ancient and traditional midwifes to cover and improve health participation in rural areas. Discussion on advantages and inconveniences of this fact are discussed here. There is a criticism on whether figures are real regarding bio-medical cover. The supposed to be community participation in the multi-cultural dayto-day care as is described here, implies not only a more than a simple process of medical education but various different ways of approaching understanding and caring for health problems and even understanding an assuming world in many ways. In many occasions figures stated here on education and consequent medical attention are far from real bio-medical attention patterns which seem to demonstrate such figures are nearer to a type of care where non-specialist and professional, popular and bio-medical attention overlap and mingle.
