Something I value from Dr. Sandra´s talk was her acknowledgement of the importance cultural competeency has in her work space. I could sense she very much valued her interactions with other humans. In addition, she was a committe/board of professionals looking for ways to improve services. I really enjoyed how personable she was and how she would relate back to her personal experiences. She also admitted her priveledge to attend a private doctor here in Mexico, which is something not very many health specialists like to recognize. I went through a personal experience where I had the opportunity to see the difference in care between a public and private hospital. This is not to say all public medical institutions are incapable of meeting the needs of people who attend them, but in that particular moment, I was ashamed at the work social workers and medical professionals were doing. It´s hard enough that individuals can barely afford to attend these medical resources put in place by the government, why make their efforts be in vain? It´s important both public and private spheres develop a system inclusive of individuals from numerous backgrounds. Let us stay in connection with professional collegues in medical and political realm to make this possible. <br /><br />Laura Aguas, St. Olaf College BSWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687469538262241875.post-54277487430241229122014-05-13T06:52:10.671-07:002014-05-13T06:52:10.671-07:00As Alyssa pointed out, healthcare in Mexico is a b...As Alyssa pointed out, healthcare in Mexico is a broad topic made up of many components. Many things stuck out to me during Dr. Sandra Treviño Siller’s (03/31/2014) talk on health care. One of the components she discussed was that many people in rural areas prefer dying in their communities than traveling to unknown cities to receive health attention. One thing I have taken for granted in my life is the easy access I have to resources such as stores and health centers. Making the decision to stay in your community and die peacefully there when you might have survived if you had received medical attention is a very powerful concept to me. In Mexico, health care in rural areas and in cities is very different. The medical field in rural areas often lacks resources, quality and intercultural training, and usually receives temporary doctors who stay for one year, while completing their year of social service. The decision to live or die is one strongly influenced by the systems that we live in. The difference in health attention and cultural understanding is one that is very diverse and problematic in many parts of the world and is an important topic to be aware of as individuals and as social workers. <br /><br />-Laura Holdrege Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687469538262241875.post-58569141952608735642014-05-09T17:51:37.421-07:002014-05-09T17:51:37.421-07:00Thanks for this informative description of the lan...Thanks for this informative description of the landscape of health care in Mexico and the probing question focusing on similarities and differences with the landscape in the US. I'm sure that one similarity is the disparity of access to health care and adequate coverage depending on where one lives (e.g., which state and which part of the state all the way down to which neighborhood; in the US, health care coverage used to be tied to employment but now less so as fewer employers offer health insurance as a benefit. Your post reminds us, Alyssa, that social work is a health care profession, internationally! Tony Bibus, Augsburg CollegeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
