The arbitrariness in health persist in Peru. Been made public monitoring of the Ministry of Health that found that not only clinical but in state hospitals and EsSalud, the pharmaceutical industry continues to penetrate in order to start the baby one of the key moments in the development of life that begins: breastfeeding. By "stimulus", doctors, nurses and serves as promoters of the milk formula, manipulating the will of the mother with some mischief, for the acceptance that your child is given milk chemistry in the first hours and days of life .
is an unjustifiable act, and to stop breastfeeding in the first moments bring irreversible consequences on the one hand affect the health of children and other family tie to be purchased at a pharmacy for long periods of milk chemistry. Taking into account that only 3% of newborns require formula, and this is contrasted with the claim that it has generated irregularly, it is clear that there is a plan to profit unfairly at the expense of the health of children and Peruvian girls.
This adds to a string of arbitrary national health organization that allows the den. Minimal access to generic medicines in drugstores chains, negligence unresolved insurance exclusions that checked out and borrow the insured at the time that requires more attention, recognized clinical organ trafficking accomplices, thousands of unnecessary caesarean sections fabricated from EPS in collusion with doctors who charge more for them (see box), and thus extending the rosary.

their shoes
This situation is the result of the gradual abdication of the health authorities face the agents of health. In what sense? The Director of Health Promotion Ministry of Health in a recent article published in Caretas, said that he had called on hospitals and laboratories to ensure compliance with the rules on breastfeeding mother, adding that it has also been informed INDECOPI. The point is that the Health Ministry itself could punish and even suspend the marketing of formula, but there are major influences that frustrate attempts to punish proven transnational situations like this. In the case of workers in the ministry to promote this situation, it could act more decisively.
The allusion to INDECOPI intervention in the case of the milk or in relation to the price of medicines, can display on the merits. That is, if health officials say it is INDECOPI who has jurisdiction over these issues, would tacitly accepted that it is a matter of free market and competition, not of rights / freedoms, in which the State itself can implement the laws once established produced the abuses.
Is health an issue of rights / freedoms and a market issue? It is fairly clear that public health is a public matter, which may have some influence of market forces, but never depend on or be subjected to this, there is evidence in the world to show that the market logic produces greater health equity public logic. Health
, investment and savings
These situations seem isolated, they are becoming the rule in public health due among other factors to the vulnerability of health workers and students against the interests of the pharmaceutical industry and others. This creates a complicity between those who "encourage" workers to induce the consumption of certain products or drugs, and health organization that is unable to squarely face these intentions.
If you understand that investment in public health and the organization of a truly universal system result in economic development itself, things could change. Achieve a health system that protects citizens against their needs, and basically promotes health to prevent disease, will costs lessen people with two consequences: families more money for consumption or investment, and a healthier society and therefore prepared to compete on the global stage.
investment and management of health will be a savings for the country, since diseases (produced mainly by the conditions of life) are a major cause of impoverishment of Peruvian families. In the current disorder and insecurity, the beneficiaries are those who claim that health is purchased in the market as if it will be a radish or a DVD. No, health is a much richer cultural process and the potential for on this basis to achieve a cohesive country are real. Alexander Sack
