“…Sin embargo, en muchos países que conforman América Latina muestran otra realidad, y es que se exterioriza la disyuntiva de acrecentar la eficiencia y la cobertura social de sus servicios en unas condiciones de restricciones presupuestarias. Este derecho depende de la voluntad política y la disposición que exista de los recursos económicos que disponga cada país [6].…”
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.

“…7,8 Finally, it should be noted that there is currently a great need to humanize the provision of healthcare services, especially in primary care, in order to offer comprehensive healthcare that responds appropriately to the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of patients in a context of healthy relationships between the patient and the health professionals, as well as the administrative and managerial staff of healthcare institutions. 9 The reason for this is that any person who visits a center looking for healthcare expects to receive adequate, dignified and humane treatment, and also to feel that they are involved in an interaction in which there is mutual recognition and appreciation.…”
El primer nivel de atención de los servicios de salud juega un papel fundamental para el adecuado funcionamiento del sistema de salud, ya que en dicho nivel se debe garantizar el acceso equitativo a servicios esenciales en salud para toda la población.1 De esta forma, en este nivel de atención se deben brindar los cuidados esenciales en salud de manera integral y los profesionales de la salud deben ser capaces de resolver la mayoría de las necesidades y demandas en salud de la población1.
