CARLOSAMA, Diana Milena et al. Humanizing Health Care Services in Ibero-America: A Systematic Review of Literature. pers.bioét. [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.2, pp.245-262. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2019.23.2.6.

Humanization is an ethical imperative that contributes to safeguarding human dignity in harmony with bioethical principles and deontological regulations that govern health care practices. The present study aims to explore the advances in the humanization of Ibero-American health care in the last ten years through a systematic review. Results show that such advances point to understanding the phenomenon based on theoretical approaches, a growing interest in the subject in recent years, and the creation of policies, programs and strategies that should be strengthened from a comprehensive view of the human being.

Keywords : Humanization of assistance; health services; bioethics; ethics; human dignity; personhood; health strategies; systematic reviews.
