Interculturality and the conjunction of knowledge that gathers health care

Abstract

The paper aims to debate health care from an intercultural and secular perspective. The proposition ofbioethics as interdisciplinary, from Potter to contemporary authors, brings a strong incentive to reflection onhealth care and the urgent need for dialogue between the knowledge involved in this area. Interculturality, asa possible approach in health, leads to the thinking that it is not possible to exercise the health care withoutrelating it to other elements beyond the biological, such as historical, social, political, economic, religious,cultural, among others. A health care model can be constructed from the interpretation of a reality, whichin turn, can also be constructed. Currently, the different health care models face the challenge of integratingwith each other, based in the different knowledge, legitimizing an integral health care attention.
