In the Panamanian Constitution access to health services is universal and free. Actually, health and education ranks top of the table in terms of national goals ever since this place is a country. Through the decades Panamanian rulers and politicians have failed to deliver these goals properly to the population. A wide range of causes undermines the proper and effective implementation of policies and allocation of resources in the health system.This article contemplates the various attempts of reform implemented in many countries of the Americas and basically denotes that even though there are different backgrounds, problems are almost the same. There is a rather large amount of population insured under pre-paid compulsory social security and there is another portion of population rather poor that depends solely on basic free services that regularly lacks the minimum quality requirements. There is also a third group that can afford private health care mostly through private insurance companies. |
