Through this course, the Gender, Ethnicity and Health Office of PAHO/WHO seeks to promote an analysis of the health situation and access to services with proper attention given to differences in health indicators that reveal unfavorable circumstances faced by indigenous people, Afro-descendants, Romani people and migrants. Adopting an ethnic approach will create opportunities to redesign health program, plans and policies, with the aim to overcome unjust social conditions that affect those people within a framework that promote: social equity, social participation and respect for human rights.
La Oficina de Género, Etnia y Salud de la OPS/OMS se propone, mediante este curso, contribuir a que los análisis de situación y acceso a los servicios incorporen progresivamente una mirada atenta a las diferencias en los indicadores de salud que revelan una situación desventajosa del grupo étnico/racial. La incorporación sistemática de un enfoque étnico (EE) facilita mecanismos, a través de los cuales se puede lograr el rediseño de programas, planes y políticas de salud que busquen modificar las realidades injustas, en el marco de trabajo que promueva la equidad, participación social y respeto de los derechos humanos.
