Indigenous health: bioethics as instrument of respect for differences

Abstract

Since 1999, indigenous health is organized based on a different model of health care U the Subsystem for Indigenous Health, which is currently undergoing through changes in its management, jeopardizing the specificity of its actions. From the analysis of legislation and brief historical background, this paper argues in favor of policy attention specific to the natives by the perspective of bioethics. The concepts that support the arguments relate to the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, as well as different authors working with social and pluralistic bioethics, and seek dialogue in order to obtain democratic resolution of conflicts.
