Abstract:

This qualitative study aimed to describe and analyze how a indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon, the Kukama Kukamiria, perceives and evaluates the care provided in the public health center in San Regis. Was conducted ethnographic study in the community of San Regis, the Marañón River in Loreto region in Peru, including interviews and participant observation with men and women patients, with traditional healers, and providers of the health center. The prism of interculturality is adopted to discuss the evaluation that Kukamas Kukamirias do about the health care the care they receive in local health post. We discuss about the intercultural (dis) encounters that affect vulnerable populations in their interactions with health services. The frequent preference for traditional care implies a rapprochement between caregiver and patient, should be taken into account in the organization of health services, and articulated to conventional forms of assistance in an intercultural perspective.
