Delivery of Type 2 diabetes care in low‐ and middle‐income countries: lessons from Lima, Peru

Abstract: Despite an initial political commitment by the Peruvian government to improve the delivery of diabetes care, there exist several key limitations that affect access to adequate diabetes care, especially at the primary healthcare level. In a context in which various low- and middle-income countries are aiming to achieve universal health coverage, this study provides lessons for the implementation of strategies related to diabetes care delivery.

“…However, non-communicable diseases are so related with low socioeconomic status that other potential explanations need to be further explored [54]. For example, barriers for access to health care and treatment in Lima include: difficulties to get a medical appointment, low affordability of medication, reduced treatment adherence and low access to self-monitoring equipment [55]. It is expected to find low treatment rates in Puno, where 73% of population do not have a health insurance [19] and the number of inhabitants per physician is four times that of Lima [20].…”

“…El sistema sanitario público peruano es particularmente oneroso en términos de desgaste de tiempo, por ejemplo para un paciente portador de diabetes mellitus [12] . A lo dificultoso de lidiar con tomar medicamentos a la hora indicada, monitorear la glucosa, evaluar los pies antes de colocar el calzado, mantener una dieta saludable, mantener o reducir el peso, realizar ejercicio físico, el paciente debe soportar tiempos de espera prolongados para sacar las citas o realizar trámites impuestos por la ineficiencia y burocracia del sistema.…”

“…En el Perú se ha dado una transición epidemiológica en la cual las enfermedades crónicas son causa de una alta morbimortalidad y generan una importante carga social, económica y de discapacidad. El paciente con enfermedades crónicas enfrenta un sistema de salud con falencias, con inequidad en las prestaciones de servicios, falta de infraestructura, falta de personal, sin una oferta de intervenciones de prevención, diagnóstico o tratamiento oportunos ni adecuados, lo que lo motiva a acudir a servicios de emergencia para tratar su enfermedad [12] , ambiente inapropiado para lograr una interacción adecuada que permita una decisión compartida.…”
