MORENO MORENO, Mónica Cecilia  and  LOPEZ LOPEZ, María Victoria. The right to Health in Colombia. 1999-2007. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2009, vol.8, n.16, pp.133-152. ISSN 1657-7027.

We are presenting a state of art based on published books and articles on health as a right in the last decade. The methodology is part of the qualitative approach, using techniques of content analysis and discourse analysis. We applied instruments with descriptors such as: objectives, themes, actors and results. Among the findings may highlight concerns over the worsening of the hospital crisis, the labor problem and its relation to health, access barriers to services and the deteriorating situation of public health The balance shows two perspectives to set health policy: the free market as the best option to ensure the health attention or the guarantee of health from the State as a fundamental responsable.

Keywords : right to health; public policies; health care; human rights; social security; health systems; right to health care; public policy; health systems; social security.
