Resumen
En el marco general de la actual Sociedad de laInformación y en el marco específico de la denominada gobernanza en salud; reaparece el viejo problema de la atribución deresponsabilidad individual en salud. Se presume que el mayor acceso alconocimiento y a la información sanitaria conlleva mayor responsabilidad individualsobre las elecciones de estilos de vida. Mi hipótesis general es que, bajo eldiscurso ideal de la autodeterminación informativa y la co-responsabilidad individualen salud -discurso propio de la gobernanza en salud-; se esconde la estrategia (neoliberal o libertariana) de limitacióno negación de la atención de la salud pública en la responsabilidad individual(the argument of desert). Dicha estrategia justificaría los consiguientes recortesde poder distributivo del Estado en salud pública, reforzando las desigualdades sociales originales. Este discurso ignora que el acceso al conocimiento constituye un determinante social de la salud, y como tal, exige una estricta responsabilidad social en la prevención de la salud comunitaria.
Within the general frameworkof present‐day “Information Society”and in the specific context of so‐called “governance in health”,the old issue of individual attribution ofresponsibility in health comes back to the fore. It is presumed that wider access to knowledge and informationon health related matters implies greate individual responsibility on choices concerning life‐styles. My overall hypothesis is that, behind the ideal discours on informational self‐determination andindividual co-responsibility in health matters a usual discoursein health governance-lies a(neo‐liberal or libertarian) strategy of limitation or denial of public health care based on individual responsibility (the argumentof desert). Such strategy would justify the corresponding cuts in the distributivepower of the State in mattersof public health, thus reinforcing original social inequalities. Thisdiscourse ignoresthe fact that access to knowledge is asocialdeterminant of health and, as such, requires strict social responsibility inpreventive care in matters of communitarian health.
