RESUMEN
RESUMEN El Perú es un país diverso y convulso, la historia republicana es una muestra de ello. El sistema sanitario peruano recién se construye durante el siglo XX. Sin embargo, su crecimiento se vio continuamente afectado por inadecuadas políticas gubernamentales y por las corrosivas y contantes acciones de corrupción. En el siglo XXI, un sistema algo reconstruido, pero de muy bajo presupuesto padece de costumbres venales que impiden un desarrollo óptimo. El presente artículo describe las bases antropológicas que subyacen las acciones humanas que llevan a la corrupción, asimismo hace un repaso de las principales estrategias de corrupción en todo el sistema sanitario peruano, que además esta fragmentado tanto en el sector público como en el privado. Además, se mencionan factores externos influyentes como la industria farmacéutica. La situación sanitaria resultante no lo hace fuerte para enfrentar crisis sanitarias como el COVID-19. Finalmente, se esbozan algunas propuestas de cambio.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Peru is a varied and convulsed country, and our republican history is a proof for that. The Peruvian health system has just been built during the 20th century. However, its development has been continuously affected by inadequate government policies and by corrosive and constant corruption acts. Now, in the 21st century, the health system has undergone some sort of reconstruction, but still with a very low budget and continuing venal practices that impede its proper functioning. This paper attempts to describe the anthropological basis underlying the human actions leading to corruption. It also reviews some of the main corruption modalities within the whole Peruvian healthcare system, a fragmented entity both in its public area and in its private counterpart. Also, some influencing factors are dealt with, as it is the case for the pharmaceutical industry. The resulting situation of the Peruvian healthcare system makes it quite vulnerable when facing sanitary crisis such as that generated by Covid-19. Finally, some proposals for change are outlined.
