El presente artículo plantea la conexión existente entre el régimen protectorio del derecho a la salud, los derechos de los niños, niñas y adolescentes, y el régimen del Consumidor. En Argentina, la protección a la salud dentro de las relaciones de consumo es una prioridad, así, pues, el resguardo de los intereses económicos del “consumidor”, como su salud tienen jerarquía constitucional. El carácter tuitivo se justifica en la asimetría que caracteriza a la “relación de consumo”; situación que se agrava cuando personas que ya son vulnerables forman parte de ella. Lo expresado cobra mayor relevancia al analizar la publicidad dirigida al público infantil, específicamente la de alimentos no saludables. Esto último, ha sido limitado en varios países y ha sido objeto de pronunciamientos judiciales en Latinoamérica. Realizando la interpretación de todo el ordenamiento jurídico se pueden ofrecer razones para prohibir la publicidad de alimentos no saludables dirigida a un público infantil.   This article analyzes the connection between the regulations to the right to health, the right of children and adolescents and consumer`s regime. The protection to the health within the norms that regulate the consumption is a priority. In Argentina the protection of the economic interests of the "consumer", as well as, his/her health has a constitutional hierarchy. The tuitive character is justified by the asymmetry that is intrinsic to the "consumption relationship". This is even worse when people who are already vulnerable are involved in this relationship. This becomes more relevant when children`s advertising is analyzed, specifically unhealthy food advertising. This has been limited in several countries and has been subjected to judicial pronouncements in Latin America. By making an adequate interpretation of the entire legal system, good reasons can be offered to prohibit the advertising of unhealthy food addressed to a child audience.

The Welfare State

La aparición del Estado del bienestar a mitad del siglo XX tuvo consecuencias sanitarias que culminan con el reconocimiento del derecho a la protección de la salud y el deber de asistencia sanitaria del Estado, con una extensión de la medicina a campos desconocidos, medicalizando la vida de las personas. El TDAH es un caso paradigmático, convirtiéndose en una patología psiquiátrica a partir de su inclusión en el DSM-III 1980, con inconsistencias y subjetividad en las clasificaciones. La etiología del trastorno es desconocida, su diagnóstico es subjetivo y dudoso, su tratamiento poco efectivo y con riesgos, incrementando el número de casos diagnosticados y los beneficios de la industria farmacéutica. Desde la Bioética se impone una reflexión sobre los posible daños derivados de la medicalización (no-maleficencia), una prudente actuación de los profesional (beneficencia), respeto al criterio de niños y adolescentes (autonomía) y una perspectiva crítica en relación con el gasto derivado de su diagnóstico (justicia). The emergence of the welfare state in the mid-twentieth century had health consequences that culminated in the recognition of the right to health protection and the duty of health care of the State, with an extension of medicine to unknown fields, medicalizing the life of people. ADHD is a paradigmatic case, becoming a psychiatric pathology due to its inclusion in the DSM-III 1980, with inconsistencies and subjectivity in the classifications. The etiology of the disorder is unknown, its diagnosis is subjective and doubtful, its treatment ineffective and with risks, increasing the number of cases diagnosed and the benefits of the pharmaceutical industry. From the Bioethics a reflection on the possible damages derived from the medicalization (nonmaleficence), a prudent action of the professional (beneficence), respect to the criterion of children and adolescents (autonomy) and a critical perspective in relation to the expense is imposed derived from his diagnosis (justice).

ABSTRACT Objective To know situations of vulnerabilities experienced by children and adolescents with cancer and their implications on health rights. Method A qualitative study, developed from 2017 to 2018, in two Santa Catarina hospitals. The interviewees were 11 family members of children/adolescents with cancer, a prevalent chronic disease identified in hospitalizations in 2017. A descriptive and thematic analysis was carried out based on the vulnerability and human rights framework. Results Among the chronic diseases, cancer was prevalent. Vulnerability situations were discussed considering the trajectories in the health care network, the challenges facing the care routine and the support networks for the exercise of the right to health. Final considerations Chronic diseases such as cancer require timely, decisive and effective responses from the health system with a view to maintaining human rights.

La protección del derecho a la salud busca hacer efectivo su acceso en condiciones de calidad, oportunidad, disponibilidad y aceptabilidad, tal como consagra el Derecho internacional. En el plano local, en el año 2013, el Perú decide reformular el sistema de protección de salud en beneficio del paciente. Sobre la base de una bibliografía relevante y la experiencia del autor, el artículo reflexiona sobre el actual sistema dirigido por la Superintendencia Nacional de Salud y lo considera un referente en América Latina, pues otorga al Estado la capacidad para sancionar administrativamente cualquier exceso de las empresas prestadoras y financiadoras de salud y, al mismo tiempo, provee eficaces espacios alternativos, a la vía judicial, para solucionar cualquier controversia en materia de salud.   The protection of the right to health attempts to make its access effective under conditions of quality, opportunity, availability, and acceptability, as enshrined in International Law. At the local level, in 2013, Peru decided to redesign the health protection system for the benefit of the patient. Based on relevant bibliography and the author's experience, this article reflects on the current system run, by Superintendence National of Health, and considers it a benchmark in Latin America, as it gives the State the ability to administratively sanction any excess by the health providers and financing companies and, at the same time, provides effective alternative channels, other to the judiciary, to solve any controversy in health matters.

AbstractThis special issue “Realizing the Right to Health in Latin America and the Caribbean” provides an overview of one of the most challenging objectives of health systems: equity and the realization of the right to health. In particular, it concentrates on the issues associated with such a challenge in countries suffering of deep inequity. The experience in Latin America and the Caribbean demonstrates that the efforts of health systems to achieve Universal Health Coverage are necessary but not sufficient to achieve an equitable realization of the right to health for all. The inequitable realization of all other human rights also determines the realization of the right to health.

A number of developments stemmed from reforms to Latin America’s educational landscape beginning in 1990, with the regulamentation of homeschooling differing in countries across this region. Academic research and literature on homeschooling in these countries are just beginning, but it is clear that there is a “normative void” on this topic that is experienced by almost all Latin American countries despite the growing number of families choosing this form of education. There is a need to broaden the debate regarding the regulation of homeschooling in Latin America by analyzing local particularities in view of the commitment to protect the right to education for Latin American children and adolescents.

The number of children in Latin America with overweight and obesity has increased markedly in recent years. However, interventions focused on prevention of childhood obesity are still in their infancy in Latin America. Leveraging the use of technology in children and adolescents to introduce or reinforce patterns of healthy eating and mobility in interventions is a priority. Though there is a low number of intervention studies focused on obesity prevention in Latin America, several studies using technology have been conducted. Further implementation of such programs as part of multilevel interventions will allow for continued prevention efforts to address increasing rates of overweight and obesity in this population.
