ABSTRACT
La salud es el bienestar individual y colectivo determinado por factores que trascienden el sistema sanitario. Si este quiere abordar la dimensión colectiva de la salud es preciso cambiar su orientación. La salud comunitaria está incluida teóricamente en la legislación, la formación, la coordinación y la planificación, y cuenta con marcos estratégicos que implican la coordinación y la participación de instituciones, servicios sanitarios y ciudadanía. Se presenta un artículo de diálogo en el que cinco personas reflexionan sobre la situación, las barreras, las fortalezas y las oportunidades de acción del sistema sanitario en relación con la salud comunitaria. Se precisan cambios en las acciones del sistema sanitario en relación con la salud comunitaria y su abordaje para ser capaces de afrontar los problemas de salud de las comunidades en la situación socioeconómica actual. Desde lo esencial del derecho a la salud reorientemos la acción teniendo presente la participación, la equidad, la orientación social, la intersectorialidad, el abordaje integral, la justicia social o la salud en todas las políticas, para poder tener presente la salud comunitaria en nuestro sistema de salud

Community health is theoretically included in legislation, training, coordination and planning with strategic frameworks that involve the coordination and participation of institutions, health services and citizenship. We present a discussion article in which five authors reflect on the situation, barriers, strengths and opportunities for action of the health services in relation to community health. Changes are needed in the actions of the health services in relation to community health and the way they approach it to address the health problems faced by the communities in the current socioeconomic situation. Given that health is an essential right, we will make a shift in action towards participation, equity, social orientation, intersectorality, comprehensive approach, social justice, and health in all policies, so that community health is taken into account in our health system

Health means individual and collective well-being determined by factors that transcend the health services. If the health services want to address the collective dimension of health, a change of approach is required. Community health is theoretically included in legislation, training, coordination and planning with strategic frameworks that involve the coordination and participation of institutions, health services and citizenship. We present a discussion article in which five authors reflect on the situation, barriers, strengths and opportunities for action of the health services in relation to community health. Changes are needed in the actions of the health services in relation to community health and the way they approach it to address the health problems faced by the communities in the current socioeconomic situation. Given that health is an essential right, we will make a shift in action towards participation, equity, social orientation, intersectorality, comprehensive approach, social justice, and health in all policies, so that community health is taken into account in our health system.
