ABSTRACT

RESUMEN En el presente artículo se identifican rasgos distintivos y esenciales en las transformaciones del sistema de salud cubano que han permitido la erradicación y disminución de las tasas de incidencia de algunas enfermedades transmisibles a niveles inferiores a 0,1 por 100 000 habitantes. Los resultados obtenidos son consecuencia de la importancia otorgada a la prevención y control de estas enfermedades, así como a los riesgos y daños potenciales. La estructura y funcionamiento del subsistema de higiene y epidemiología y sus interrelaciones con el resto del sistema a partir de los diferentes modelos de prestación de servicios han constituido escenarios de integración permanentes para la toma de decisiones. Se eliminaron enfermedades como la poliomielitis, paludismo, difteria, tosferina, rubéola, parotiditis, meningitis posparotiditis, sarampión, fiebre amarilla, cólera, formas graves de la tuberculosis, rabia humana transmitida por caninos, leishmaniasis, enfermedad de Chagas, la transmisión vertical del virus de inmunodeficiencia humana, sífilis congénita y formas clínicas como el tétanos neonatal y el síndrome de rubéola congénita. Se hace énfasis en algunas enfermedades transmisibles y, en especial, en la respuesta social desarrollada contra la tuberculosis, la lepra, el sida y las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores. Se demuestra que el contexto sanitario actual revela aún desafíos para la sostenibilidad de los logros alcanzados en el país. Garantizar el mantenimiento de la cobertura universal con acceso de la población cubana a los servicios de salud será siempre un principio de la salud pública cubana.


ABSTRACT This article presents distinctive and essential features in the transformations of the Cuban health system that have allowed the eradication and reduction of the incidence rates of some communicable diseases at levels lower than 0.1 per 100 000 inhabitants. The results obtained are a consequence of the importance given to the prevention and control, as well as to the risks and potential damages, of these diseases. The structure and functioning of the hygiene and epidemiology subsystem and its interrelations with the rest of the system, based on the different models of service provision, have been permanent integration scenarios for decision making. Diseases such as poliomyelitis, malaria, diphtheria, whooping cough, rubella, mumps, post-mumps meningitis, measles, yellow fever, cholera, severe forms of tuberculosis, human rabies transmitted by canines, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, vertical transmission of HIV, congenital syphilis and clinical forms such as neonatal tetanus and congenital rubella syndrome were eliminated. Some communicable diseases are analyzed in more detail and, in particular, the social response developed against tuberculosis, leprosy, AIDS and vector-borne diseases. However, the current health context presents challenges for the sustainability of the achievements made in the country. Assuring the maintenance of universal coverage with access of the Cuban population to health services will always be a principle of Cuban public health.


RESUMO No presente artigo se identificam características específicas e essenciais nas transformações do sistema de saúde cubano que permitiram a erradicação e redução das taxas de incidência de algumas doenças transmissíveis a níveis inferiores a 0,1 por 100 000 habitantes. Os resultados obtidos são uma conseqüência da importância dada à prevenção e controle dessas doenças, bem como aos riscos e danos potenciais. A estrutura e o funcionamento do subsistema de higiene e epidemiologia e suas inter-relações com o resto do sistema, com base nos diferentes modelos de prestação de serviços, constituíram cenários de integração permanente para a tomada de decisões. Foram eliminadas doenças como a poliomielite, malária, difteria, coqueluche, rubéola, parotidite, meningite pós-parotidite, sarampo, febre amarela, cólera, formas graves de tuberculose, raiva humana transmitida por cães, leishmaniose, doença de Chagas, a transmissão vertical do vírus da imunodeficiência humana, sífilis congênita e formas clínicas como o tétano neonatal e a síndrome da rubéola congênita. É dada ênfase a algumas doenças transmissíveis e, em particular, à resposta social desenvolvida contra a tuberculose, a hanseniasis, a AIDS e as doenças transmitidas por vetores. Mostra-se que o atual contexto de saúde revela desafios para a sustentabilidade das realizações no país. Garantir a manutenção da cobertura universal com acesso da população cubana aos serviços de saúde sempre será um princípio da saúde pública cubana.

ABSTRACT

Climate change and variability are common phenomena affecting various infectious diseases. Many studies have been performed on vector-borne diseases; however, few studies have addressed such influences on intestinal parasitic diseases [e.g., giardiasis]. In this study, using nonlinear Poisson regression models, we assessed the potential associations between macroclimatic variation and giardiasis cases in children and school workers from three provinces of Cuba in the context of large sampling and parasitological assessment. Between 2010 and 2012, 293,019 subjects were assessed, resulting in 6357 positive for Giardia [216.95 cases/10,000 pop.; 95%CI 211.7-222.2]. The variation in time for those giardiasis rates ranged from 35.8 to 525.8 cases/10,000 pop. Nonlinear Poisson regression models between the ONI index and the giardiasis incidence indicated a significant association [p < 0.01]. With lower values of ONI, lower incidence of giardiasis was observed at Havana [pseudo r[2] = 0.0576; p < 0.001] and Guantanamo [pseudo[2] = 0.0376; p < 0.001]. Although these results are preliminary and the magnitude of association is not higher, the results were of statistical significance. This result indicates the need to assess in detail in further studies the impact of additional macroclimatic and microclimatic variables on the epidemiology of this still important intestinal parasitic disease, not only in Cuba but also in other countries of the Caribbean and Latin American region
