Esta ponencia pretende fundamentar y contextualizar, desde un enfoque de derechos humanos y desde la misma disciplina Bioética; lo actuado por el Área de Bioética del Ministerio de Salud de Córdoba, Argentina en el año 2019. Se parte del análisis de dos iniciativas que se están plasmando en los hospitales públicos de la provincia como son: la cartelería inicial, el posterior ciclo de reuniones formativas sobre “derechos y responsabilidades de los pacientes”, y la implementación del “consentimiento informado general de internación en hospitales públicos”. Al final, se plantean los desafíos pendientes para que la asistencia pública en esta materia sea pionera, primera garante y promotora de los derechos de los pacientes que asiste.
This paper aims to provide a basis and context for the actions taken by the Bioethics Area of the Ministry of Health of Córdoba, Argentina, in 2019, from a human rights perspective and from the discipline of Bioethics itself. It is based on the analysis of two initiatives that are being implemented in the public hospitals of the province: the initial poster, the subsequent cycle of training meetings on "patients' rights and responsibilities", and the implementation of "general informed consent for hospitalization in public hospitals". In the end, the pending challenges are posed so that public assistance in this area can be a pioneer, the first guarantor and promoter of the rights of the patients it assists.
