Abstract

The Argentine health system is characterized by its heterogeneity and fragmentation, which creates problems in allocative efficiency. According to the last census, the sum of the population covered by the provincial jurisdictions through the public health and which have coverage of the provincial social security, represents, on average, 52% of the country's population, a figure that demonstrates the key role that occupy the provinces in building public health policies and the necessary interaction required in the sector in order to generate a positive partner's synergy. In this article, information gathered through the Observatory of the Provincial Social Security that identifies the coverage of the Argentine Health System for the various segments and analyze the demographic structure covered by the Provincial Social Securities, in order to provide information for sanitary planning.

Según datos del último censo, la sumatoria de la población cubierta por las jurisdicciones provinciales a través de la salud pública y de la que posee cobertura de la seguridad social provincial, representa--en promedio--el 52% de la población del país, cifra que evidencia el rol fundamental que ocupan los estados provinciales en la construcción de políticas públicas sanitarias y la necesaria interacción que requiere el sector, para poder generar una sinergia positiva de las partes. En este artículo, se expone información relevada a través del Observatorio de la Seguridad Social Provincial que permite identificar el grado de cobertura del Sistema de Salud Argentino para los distintos segmentos y analizar la estructura demográfica cubierta por las Obras Sociales Provinciales, en pos de aportar datos para caracterizar demográficamente la población bajo cobertura y exponer indicadores de consumo y costo.
