Participation and Social Communication in Health
The Experiences of Participation and Social Communication in Health are a process for the development of dialogues regarding health. They constitute a space that allows the creation of social networks making health a responsibility of all the stakeholders in the territory. This democratic innovation fortifies a strategy for change in the implementation of health policies in public management. In the specific case of the Aconcagua Health Service, the opinion of its beneficiaries is collected to design and reorient its policies, plans and work programs, seeking to strengthen the communication channels between the citizenry and authorities. It seeks to contextualize the concept of "Health, responsibility of all" in order to solve health problems with the participation of the different stakeholders in the territory.
