| Abstract | The basic guidelines for the construction of a Sustainable Model of Health Care require the development of some central elements: to promote consistent organizational participatory processes; have strong political support from the local management leader; and have enough economic resources to provide health services. Cotacachi, has developed a process of citizen participation and organization and social management with novel features, since August 1996, when an indigenous leader is elected mayor of the canton, with the support and work developed by the Union of Campesino Organizations of Cotacachi UNORCAC. One of the mechanisms of social participation instituted is the Assembly of Cantonal Unity, an instance that has been functioning for six years. During the first assembly, the community demands the conformation of the intersectional Committee of Health CIS, in charge of improving the health services offered in the canton and incorporating Andean medicine as a recognized option. The management of the CIS advances and proposes the management of the SOS Health Decentralized System that has the technical and financial support of the Ministry of Public Health, Modersa Program. The system is conceived as a sustainable health model that aims to improve coverage, equity and quality of care of health services and universal assurance of users. The SOS also proposes some strategic elements for the achievement of success: community participation, social control, broad and continuous citizen participation, deconcentrated and decentralized management of processes, the provision of health services through a network with public providers and private that are hired under conditions of efficiency and effectiveness. The social process lived in Cotacahi is adjusted to the social and management terms required in the SDS. The provision of health services with the participation of public or private providers involves an analysis of economic sustainability understood as the identification of the real costs of health benefits. |
