RESUMEN
Actualmente en Bolivia, uno de los mayores problemas en el ámbito de la salud es la incorporación del concepto de cultura a las políticas sanitarias, hecho que hizo que se crearan centros de salud denominados "interculturales", así como el Modelo de Salud Familiar Comunitario e Intercultural. Este artículo, a través de una investigación realizada en el año 2007 en la zona altiplánica de Bolivia, pretende demostrar como el concepto de cultura está sirviendo de base para implementar políticas que no están ayudando a cambiar los deficientes índices epidemiológicos del país.

ABSTRACT
One of the most important problems in the health field nowadays in Bolivia is the incorporation of the culture concept to public health politics, which had led to the creation of health centers called "intercultural", as well as the Communitary and Intercultural Model of Family Health. This paper, based on a research project undertaken in 2007 in the Bolivian altiplano, seeks to demonstrate how the culture concept is being used as a basis to implement politics that are not contributing to improve the deficient epidemiological indexes of the country.
