添加標簽 | 總結: | Since the 18th century the concept that health is an individual fact with no apparent relationship with the environment, is gradually replaced by the concept of health as a fact related to the environment and consequently to society. At the end of the 19th century in Europe, began to appear the idea of the social nature of diseases. The new qualitative conceptions of health and disease and their relationship with the social environment -defined as Social Medicine- are consolidated since 1940 in Europe. In the second half of the 20th century in Latin America, "Social Medicine" began to be accepted as a school of thought. The promoter and main articulator of this innovative conception of health in our American countries, and particularly in Ecuador, was Juan César García, a doctor from Argentina. He was a pediatrician and health specialist linked to the OMS, who spread these ideas and allowed the conformation of groups of professionals and health workers from different cities in Ecuador who promoted Social Medicine as a theory and practice of health. This article studies the relationships between the socioeconomic structure and health conditions and health actions in different periods of Ecuador in the 20th century based on the conceptions of Juan César García. |
