RAMIREZ HITA, Susana. Intercultural aspects of the health system reform in Bolivia. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.4, pp.762-768. ISSN 1726-4634.

This article is a reflection on how interculturality, understood as the way to improve the health of the Bolivian population and coupled with the concept of living well, is not contributing to improving the quality of life and health of the most vulnerable populations in the country. The discourse is coupled with the intention of saving lives in its broadest sense; however, for this it is necessary to make decisions about environmental health and extractivist policies that are not taken into account in the health issues affecting indigenous communities, a population targeted by the intercultural aspects of the health reform.

Palabras clave : Environmental Health; Health of indigenous peoples; Health care reform, Bolivia.
