The study population was made up of patients treated in the Endocrinology Units of the Antonio Lorena and Regional Hospitals of Cusco, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and of Quechua origin evidenced by their mother tongue. The sample is non-probabilistic for convenience, the representativeness of the discourse was sought for this, reaching 30 interviews based on the saturation criterion. The information analysis included 1. The transcription (from oral Quechua to written Quechua) and the translation of the interviews and 2. The computerized processing of the interviews, for which purpose the RQDA (Research qualitative data analysis) computer program was used.

Conclusion: The patients in our study have an intercultural approach to approach and treat.
La mortalidad infantil se determinó mediante el método directo de tablas de vida de cohortes sintéticas. El nivel de precisión de las estimaciones se determinó mediante el error relativo. Resultados: Se observa que el nivel de precisión de las estimaciones de estas tasas generales ha oscilado entre bueno y muy bueno en las encuestas 1991-1992, 1996 y 2000; sin embargo en las de 2008 y 2013 solo llegan a un nivel aceptable. Las tasas de mortalidad infantil tiende a ser menor conforme mejora el nivel educativo de la madre, así como el quintil de riqueza; de otra parte existe entre las sucesivas encuestas una tendencia a la reducción de la mortalidad infantil en las diferentes categorías. Conclusión:
