Abstract

RESUMEN: El propósito del presente estudio es realizar un análisis del sector salud en las ciudades colombianas de Barranquilla y Cartagena desde principios del siglo XXI. Se examinó, desde un enfoque descriptivo y mediante el empleo de cifras oficiales, el estado de cobertura de la población en seguridad social en salud, el estado de la infraestructura de servicios y las condiciones sanitarias de estas ciudades. Los resultados indican que la cobertura universal no ha sido alcanzada; además, la ampliación de los asegurados en el régimen subsidiado se realizó mediante mecanismos poco convenientes. La infraestructura de servicios, a pesar de que mejoró, aún dista del estándar internacional. Por último, los indicadores de mortalidad infantil y materna son altos, y para este último, ambas ciudades se encuentran desfasadas con los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio.
