Today, the governments of the Americas, together with organizations like the Pan American Health Organization, are working to extend health care to rural groups, as well as to the urban poor. The task is a difficult one, but health workers are now employing what they call a "multisectoral approach" to improve health services for such underserved people. It means that all sectors-education, agriculture, industry-are directed towards the common task of improving health conditions. This multisectoral approach was devised after many years of experience of attempting-and very often failing-to solve health problems by the health sector alone. For example, much money and energy went towards increasing the numbers of doctors and hospital beds; the idea was to model health services after the examples of wealthy developed nations. However, as explained by Dr. Fortunato Vargas-Tentori, PAHO's coordinator for health care extension, other factors were found to influence the level of health of the population. They include poor living conditions, unsafe water, malnutrition, and unproductive agriculture. In the face of such conditions, doctors-even if they were available-could do little of lasting good.

This article highlights the importance of bioethics when a research in the field of public health is being carried out. Research in health care allows us to obtain advances such as: preventing diseases, diagnose them and treat them. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) states that Bioethics is the discipline that looks to explain ethical problems that emerge in relation to health by doing research on human beings, designing and implementing a health policy, and providing medical attention. Bioethics is not a code of precepts but an activity of analysis based on ethical principles and criteria that guide the medical praxis in several health care areas. In 2004, the UNESCO launched a program of ethical teaching which varies depending on the region and country, and demands special attention regarding moral issues that are relevant in such specific regions. Based on those recommendations and reports, the UNESCO launched that same year, the Program of Bioethics Teaching.

AbstractAfter a decade of civil war and four consecutive conservative administrations, El Salvador's leftist FMLN won its first presidential election in 2009. How has public policy changed under this New Left government, and why? This article addresses the question in the area of public health care. An alliance of health sector leaders with both technocratic and diplomatic abilities capitalized on the policy window opened by the FMLN's electoral victory and worked within the parameters set by President Mauricio Funes, the FMLN, and civil society to universalize health care. The new minister of health, a professional highly esteemed inside and outside the country, was able to engage both a large social movement protesting neoliberal policy and an energetic health diplomat sent by the Pan American Health Organization. In designing its reform, this alliance benefited from international as well as “bottom-up” policy diffusion.

Preliminary results of a study on medical education in Latin America carried out by the Department of Human Resources Development of the Pan American Health Organization are given in this article. Each of the Latin American schools of medicine existing at the end of 1967 and at the beginning of 1968 was visited by a researcher for approximately seven days. During this period specially prepared questionnaires were completed. An analysis of the data reveals the presence of three types of imbalances: (1) imbalance between the system of secondary education and that of medical education, (2) internal imbalance between the system of higher education and medical education, and (3) imbalance between the system of health services and that of medical education. The study of the data compiled may serve as a basis for the proposal of activities leading to harmonious development of the health manpower sector.
