Social inequities and contemporary struggles for collective health in Latin America

In this introduction, we review the historical roots of LASM-CH… Show more

“…It is, therefore, critical that we adopt the Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Health (LASM-CH) approach [50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57] to interpret our findings and to conceptualize how the phenomenon of generalized violence itself must be analyzed and addressed in relation to the root factors that produce and sustain the violence. Based on this approach, we need both a broader conceptualization of health and solutions from and for the Global South [57,60]. Specifically, we must not simply address the social determinants of health as conceptualized by the World Health Organization [58], but also transform the unequal power relations that drive the social determinants of health [59] in the first place.…”

“…A LASM-CH approach, which prioritizes perspectives from the region [50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57], is also useful to translate the findings into multi-sectoral policies and interventions with the aim of creating widespread and long-lasting change in the region. This approach encompasses the broad context of health as a human right, including addressing social determinants, improving the living conditions of the majority populations, and ensuring the equitable distribution of health knowledge, resources, and services.…”

“…There is a growing recognition that improvements in health and well-being have not been shared across populations. Among world regions, the Americas have a disproportionate share of highly unequal contexts, as measured in terms of income inequality (1), access to health care, and well-being (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Empirical evidence suggests a central role for public policy in producing or shifting the drivers of inequity (8).…”
