Resumen
BRAN-PIEDRAHITA, Lemy et al. Access barriers to the colombian health system in rural areas: perceptions of users of the subsidized regime. Hacia promoc. Salud [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.2, pp.29-38. ISSN 0121-7577. https://doi.org/10.17151/hpsal.2020.25.2.6.
Objective:
To explore the perception users of the subsidized regime of the municipality of Sonsón, Colombia had in 2016 about the barriers to the access to health services.
Methods:
Qualitative research with a hermeneutic historical approach with the participation of 16 informants who were interviewed and their stories were transcribed, codified and analyzed based on the Grounded Theory.
Results:
Economic and administrative barriers that limit the access of people to health services were identified represented by delays in claiming medicines and their incomplete distribution, leading people to assume out-of-pocket costs or giving up on treatment.
Conclusions:
These barriers are more recalcitrant in poor and vulnerable populations since their condition limits their possibilities to face the eventualities derived from the existing barriers in the system.
