MONTOYA, Edgar Serna  e  SERNA A, Alexei. Engineering and Life Sciences: Symbiotic relationship for the human survival. Entramado [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.2, e215.  Epub 16-Out-2022. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.2.8496.

Although the developments that arise from the joint work between engineers and life scientists have increased and improved in recent decades, there are still many things to do in this relationship. One of them is the urgent improvement of the health system because although technology is important to improve diagnosis and treatment, it is also necessary to overcome the complex problems of coverage, quality, equity and timely attention that patients suffer in many parts of the planet. Governments need to have the appropriate budget to meet the health needs of their citizens and strengthen the health system to expand coverage and improve its quality These are pending tasks that must be addressed from the experience of engineering to manage and arrange systems, in harmonious work with health scientists and involving patients, doctors, governments, manufacturers, other disciplines and society in general.

Palavras-chave : Engineering; medicine; health system; survival life.
