Un modelo de atención en salud al pueblo Wayúu en la frontera colombo-venezolana

at meetings and workshops with wayúu communities and government officials from colombia and venezuela, after validating the analysis of the health situation and its determinants, the components of a binational health care model for the wayúu people living on the border between the two countries were identified. although both countries have made progress in intercultural health care, some aspects of their legislation and service organization still need to be strengthened to make the guaranteed right to health a reality. the allocation of new national resources-or the redistribution of current resources-should be ensured, as well as the management of international resources for conducting a short-term pilot project and implementing the model in the medium term.
