The notion of a population's level of health is one of the indicators used to know with certainty the level of well-being of a country's population. The health system is a set of institutions and resources that, through their actions, aim to provide an efficient health service to society. In Latin America, some limitations hinder the access of individuals to different health services, shown by socioeconomic, sociocultural, and demographic barriers, which lead to significant inequalities in societies, reflecting a certain degree of precariousness and deterioration of health. This study aims to know the development of access to public health services in Latin America during the last decade, determined under three approaches: socioeconomic, sociocultural, and geographic. The methodology was carried out through a systematic review study; to find relevant research, a bibliographic search was conducted in EBSCO, ProQuest, and Scopus, among other databases. Initially, six thousand articles were obtained, and then the inclusion-exclusion criteria were considered, leaving fifty documents as the leading articles. The research finds the temporal limitations of the study itself. In conclusion, the Latin American scientific literature shows that access to public health services in the last decade has involved a series of factors and barriers limiting the population's access to quality health.
Currently, there is a disengagement of the government with the urgency to act to curb environmental degradation, therefore, the purpose of the research was to conduct a systematic review that inspects the application of circular economy in public management, observe what has been developed in the literature at the international level and provide a summary of knowledge, comprehensively using empirical and relevant sources (indexed to Scopus, Science Direct, and Proquest) in the period 2012-2022. The circular economy concept implies the separation of environmental consequences and economic growth. This paper examines four topics related to the transition to circularity: 1) governance (managerial and regulatory state), 2) waste management, 3) public procurement, and 4) barriers that hinder its implementation. The State can use the first three as leverage to boost the circular economy. A limitation found was that the literature is very focused on waste management.Finally, it's concluded that a government capable of fostering intersectoral cooperation, designing policies, implementing programs, and promoting education, in the framework of circularity and sustainable innovation is vitally important for societies to perceive benefits in economic and environmental terms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
