Abstract
REBAZA-IPARRAGUIRRE, Henry et al. Challenges to decentralization and local participation within the health rights protection framework: experience of the SUSALUD northern macro-regional intendance. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.3, pp.556-560. ISSN 1726-4634. http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2016.333.2319.
In Peru, health protection rights and the National Health Authority (SUSALUD) coexist with the aim to ensure that every Peruvian may exercise his/her rights. According to the L.D. (Spanish: Decreto legislativo) N° 1158, strategies must be deployed to ensure effective decentralization and ensure compliance with user rights. As a result, the Northern Macro-regional Intendance (IMRN) was created, with headquarters in the city of Chiclayo, and a coverage area including Lambayeque, Tumbes, Piura, Cajamarca, La Libertad, and Amazonas. The northern macro-region promotes information dissemination, coordination, and local participation in health activities, with an emphasis on handling complaints and claims as well as implementation and operation support of user boards (JUS). After 6 months, implementation of the IMRN experience is undergoing consolidation.
