The challenges of planning a new healthcare model
The province of Santa Fe in Argentina is implementing a new public healthcare model based on strong social convictions. The solution is geared towards a consolidated, government managed healthcare model planned to be equal, socially responsible and efficient.
In 2008, the Argentinian administration proposed an unprecedented transformation of provincial territories – the provincial regionalisation programme. Deeply rooted in this project, a new healthcare initiative builds on and complements other projects in the fields of education, housing and the justice system. The comprehensive reorganisation of the territory, into five regions, aims to create a new closeness between Argentinian citizens and the state. The regionalisation strategy is also the key
physical platform supporting the new process experienced by the Santa Fe public healthcare system. It was a wide-ranging and complex task which, following detailed discussions, resulted in the decision to provide adequate care to all members of the Santa Fe community, facilitating universal access to healthcare. This required that the traditional system, which has been in place through previous administrations, be substantially changed and improved. Two key instruments were developed to reformulate the system: • A new healthcare bill. • A specific planning project for the construction of healthcare facilities.
The new healthcare bill The provincial congress has recently passed the new healthcare bill. Through the Public Network of Provincial Healthcare Services, this bill establishes consistent rules to organise and allocate budgetary funds to the entire healthcare system. The set of resources, services and actions undertaken by the provincial administration will ensure the right to health for all citizens. The new provincial healthcare system is
preceded by the experience gathered in the city of Rosario over the past 20 years. The city was distinguished as an example for the rest
