“…Recently, major policies have been officially established to bridge the gaps of health access and set up comprehensive health insurance. In January 2010, a Universal Health Insurance Program, still to be regulated and implemented, was launched by the Ministry of Health of Peru [22], promising that, in the years to come, all Peruvians have access to a prioritized package of health benefits and hence minimize out-of-pocket health spending [23,24]. Implementation of a policy for health access to all will, however, take significant time and, arguably, cannot be limited to financing mechanisms; rather, it implies a transformation of health systems and models of care that accounts for barriers that are not related to cost.…”

Moreover, the implementation of projects funded by the GFATM, which started in 2004, generated a new dynamic in prevention work and, more importantly, led to the rollout of the antiretroviral treatment program, with a commitment from the government to fully assume its costs from 2006 onwards, formalized in a reform of the 1996 HIV law [26]. …”

BackgroundThe right to health is recognized as a fundamental human right. Social participation is implied in the fulfillment of health rights since Alma Ata posited its relevance for successful health programs, although a wide range of interpretations has been observed for this term. While Peruvian law recognizes community and social participation in health, it was the GFATM requirement of mixed public-civil society participation in Country Coordination Mechanisms (CCM) for proposal submission what effectively led to formal community involvement in the national response to HIV and, to a lesser extent, tuberculosis. This has not been the case, however, for other chronic diseases in Peru. This study aims to describe and compare the role of health rights discourse and community involvement in the national response to HIV, tuberculosis and cancer.MethodsKey health policy documents were identified and analyzed. In-depth interviews were conducted with stakeholders, representatives of civil society organizations (CSO), and leaders of organizations of people affected by HIV, cancer and tuberculosis.Results and discussionA health rights discourse, well established in the HIV field, is expanding to general health discussions and to the tuberculosis (TB) field in particular. Both HIV and TB programs have National Multisectoral Strategic Plans and recognize participation of affected communities’ organizations. Similar mechanisms are non-existent for cancer or other disease-focused programs, although other affected patients are starting some organization efforts. Interviewees agreed that reaching the achievements of HIV mobilization is difficult for other diseases, since the HIV response was modeled based on a global movement with strong networks and advocacy mechanisms, eventually succeeding in the establishment of financial sources like the GFATM. Nevertheless, organizations linked to cancer and other diseases are building a National Patient Network to defend health rights.ConclusionsThere are new efforts to promote and protect health rights in Peru, probably inspired by the achievements of organizations of people living with HIV (PLHA). The public health sector must consolidate the participation of affected communities’ organizations in decision-making processes and implementation of health programs. PLHA organizations have become a key political and social actor in Peruvian public health policy.

“…Otro aspecto a tener en cuenta es que la organización debe favorecer la presentación de trabajos, pues se trata de un congreso abierto a la participación de profesionales de muy diversa procedencia, con diferentes perfiles y experiencia profesional, es por ello que se acaban aceptando trabajos con una puntuación por debajo de los 5 puntos 7,8 .…”

“…En el desarrollo de este congreso se ha tratado no solo de cumplir con los objetivos fijados por la Junta directiva de SECA y de seguir el manual de Congresos de SECA. También se procuró mejorar alguno de los aspectos que se habían planteado en ediciones anteriores 7,8 , como dar a conocer a los miembros del CC de una manera explícita su cometido concreto en el proceso de gestión científica del congreso, en Zaragoza 7 se propuso realizar una aceptación formal de pertenencia en la que se concretaran unos compromisos mínimos con el presidente del comité. En Santiago no se ha seguido el modelo propuesto, pero sí se solicitó formalmente la aceptación de su participación en el CC.…”

“…From this perspective, the determination of professional competences, and the generation of tools that manage them, becomes a key to continuing professional development (Reyes-Alcázar et al, 2011). Competence management not only encourages professional development but also innovation in learning models and processes of exchange and dissemination of knowledge.…”

This chapter assesses quality assurance and management in clinical laboratories. The necessity to provide services of appropriate quality in medical laboratories, as well as the need to satisfy the users of laboratory services, has led to increasing numbers of regulations governing their operations and assessment. Indeed, medical laboratories are subjected to inspection and assessment by a number of different bodies, namely the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), the Human Tissue Act (HTA), the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and the Care Quality Commission (CQC). A variety of techniques, such as audit, can be used by the laboratory to assess internally their compliance to set standards. Ultimately, following good laboratory practices ensures the integrity of the sample audit trail in the laboratory and allows the cycle of continual improvement to be embedded into the laboratory culture.
