dc.description.abstract | Indigenous communities usually experience higher levels of mortality and poorer access
to healthcare services compared to non-indigenous communities. This study aims to understand
the most prevalent health problems and their treatment in the Asháninka indigenous communities
of the Peruvian Amazon. We conducted an ethnographic study in order to explore the perceived
health problems, the use of traditional medicine and the resources offered by the official Peruvian
healthcare system. Field notes and semi-structured interviews were used. A total of 16 indigenous
and four non-indigenous people were interviewed, and interpretative analysis was used to identify
themes. The Asháninka community is an overlooked population, which, due to distance restrictions,
misconceptions and ethnical disparities, is far away from an appropriate healthcare system and is
subjected to acute medical conditions such as infections and gastrointestinal problems. This group
tends to seek traditional medicine, mostly herbal medications and traditional healers. The use of
a health professional is seen as a last resort. Although the official Peruvian health system incorporates
community participation strategies to improve the healthcare of indigenous people, the shortage of
material, human resources and cultural sensitivity makes this difficult. Healthcare strategies should
be devised and implemented in order to minimize health inequality in this population | es |
