Defending quality
Abstract
The quality of health services is of interest not only for professionals and technicians belonging to this sector but also for states, governments that do not all assume this responsibility and the population in general. The Cuban government and state since 1959 have been involved in improving the health care of the people with minimum risks for both patients and health providers; has had as premise the wide access and the adequate use of the available resources to execute the actions. This has favored the development of stomatological care with social projection.Stomatological services have undergone changes in the structure and processes to adapt to the socio-economic conditions of each period, in order to respond to needs with an approach based on vulnerable groups, without neglecting those of the population. Likewise, the quality of the training of human resources is ensured in order to make them fit to fulfill their social mandate.
We work on the evaluation and introduction of new health and biomedical technologies appropriate to our context. However, what has been achieved in the services must continue to improve the structure and performance dimensions, strengthen the teaching-research-assistance link, so that the population is satisfied and therefore continue to advance in the improvement of oral health indicators. Therefore, compliance with the quality standards of dental care is a priority in response to the strategy of the Ministry of Public Health to achieve excellence.
