How To Calculate The Voltage Of Lights

(72) ENTREPRENEURSHIP BUSINESS IN COMMUNITIES OF HIGH RISK ALTERNATIVE PUBLIC HEALTH INTEGRAL / Alejandro Vargas Gutiérrez



"... Rest assured doctor, send me the drug well, never mind that more expensive and not in the POS so I can pay, the important thing is that my girl quick relief "
Testimony of a farmer and entrepreneur in the Municipality of Girardot (Ant) for outpatients with her three years. February 2011.


Chapter 1. Poor people, sick people


Undoubtedly, Robert Evans was correct in his paper on the reasons why a community was healthy and one not, arguing that social hierarchy is final and socioeconomic conditions as primary determinants of the health and disease. On the subject, Lalonde and Dever had tried to explain the determinants of health in individuals and communities through heredity, lifestyle of the people, access to health services and the environment that surrounds . Evans knows, as all epidemiologists, determining that the so-called "socio-economic status" lightens any illness or disease if you live in the midst of economic comfort without them.

Moreover, in our continent, poverty is directly related to a low level of education and these factors together promote the real public health problems more common in our country such as malnutrition, tuberculosis, skin infections, dental caries, gingivitis, unplanned pregnancy at an early age, maternal and perinatal death, cervical cancer and more. That is, poverty and disease tend to go very well accompanied.

So when from the inside of a Social Security System in Health and that of our country (Colombia), offered a "universal" coverage for health cards were distributed to everyone, the most vulnerable population took the slightest sign of illness to use your new card, go to health services and by the way, feel less poor, as patient as subsidized regime , a patient becomes visible to the state and society. In short, a health card scheme Subsidized is like having a free ticket to go to the movies, only that during the trip includes some rights or added values \u200b\u200bsuch as popcorn and soda (for the Health System the expensive drugs and complex procedures approved are the exception).

So everyone who gets a license, finish using it (sometimes in excess) and with the huge social debt that has accumulated the poorest people, is almost obvious that high-cost diseases usually appear suddenly and obviously, the weak unbalanced Health System and Social Security.

How to balance Social Security System in Health to prevent the same crisis and to ensure better quality of life for people in a community?

Well as mentioned in the title of this work: The Business Entrepreneurship is the key!

is essential at this point, we return the idea of \u200b\u200bpoverty and low educational level as determinants of health are very close, which in turn promote the cycle of disease in a community and can even cause death. Therefore, in very poor condition can only be controlled properly when education, decent employment and innovation are integrated with health care in the community.

said, there is an essential key to foster a community incorporated these elements. This positive mix of elements that prevent disease, enhance health and boost sustainable development called entrepreneurship.
