0087/2017 - El acceso a la salud como derecho humano en políticas internacionales: reflexiones críticas y desafíos contemporáneos. O acesso à saúde como o direito humano em políticas internacionais: reflexões críticas e desafios contemporâneos.
Tomando como referencia la institución supranacional más importante, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), y su agencia subordinada, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), este artículo se propone hacer un análisis del acceso a la salud como derecho humano en políticas internacionales intergubernamentales. Inicialmente se discute el tema de la salud al interior de la ONU, destacando el concepto de salud global; posteriormente, se discute el concepto de salud global considerando la salud como un derecho humano; luego, se presenta el debate cobertura versus acceso a la salud como un derecho humano, abordando algunas de sus implicaciones éticas; a partir de entonces, se discuten la cobertura versus el acceso a la salud, tomando como marco de referencia las teorías constructivista y crítica de las Relaciones Internacionales. Finalmente, se concluye que frente a la persistencia de una fuerte inequidad global, la OMS comenzó a remodelarse dejando la noción de la salud como derecho humano de lado, imponiendo el desafío de disminuir la larga distancia que separa la realidad de las leyes y políticas internacionales intergubernamentales.
Taking the most important supranational institution, the United Nations (UN), and its subordinate agency, the World Health Organization (WHO), as a reference, this article aims to analyze access to healthcare as a human right in international intergovernmental policies. Initially, the issue of health within the UN is discussed, highlighting the concept of global health; subsequently, the concept of global health is discussed considering health as a human right; then the debate coverage versus access to health as a human right is presented by addressing some of its ethical implications; thereafter, the debate coverage versus access to health is discussed, taking the constructivist and critic theories of International Relations as a reference. Finally, it is concluded that given the continued strong global inequality, WHO began to remodel itself, leaving behind the notion of health as a human right, and imposing the challenge of reducing the long distance between the reality and the international intergovernmental laws and policies.
