Objective:

To analyze the application of corporate social responsibility projects in healthcare by reviewing bibliographic material, during the 2011 to 2020 period, in South America, identifying the benefits of this in the field of administration.

Methodology:

An investigation with a qualitative approach, a type of descriptive study, in which the documented information on corporate social responsibility in healthcare, and the impact of said programs, was analyzed.

Results:

An analysis of the information was carried out, finding that, at the Latin American level, despite the fact that, for a long time, the issue of social responsibility in healthcare has been discussed and addressed, a greater application of it is needed, so that a greater number of the population benefits from these Projects.

Discussion:

Corporate social responsibility in healthcare is a topic that has been mentioned and applied for a few years, however, in terms of application, it is important to highlight that at the level of Colombia and South America, there are few institutions that develop such programs for the benefit of vulnerable populations.

Conclusions:

Despite the fact that social responsibility projects in healthcare generate positive benefits at the institutional and population levels, it is vitally important to generate greater awareness-raising processes that lead to the development, implementation, and analysis of such programs, so that a greater percentage of the population is benefited.
