Abstract
Para el 2005, la red asistencial nacional del primer nivel de atención quedó conformada por 18 departamentales de salud y 2 regiones metropolitanas, las cuales se convirtieron en las unidades administrativas de la Secretaría de Salud; nombrándose un equipo regional para su dirección, cuya sede usualmente se ubica en la cabecera departamental. De ellos depende la red de servicios de salud pública de la SESAL para cada departamento. Una de estas departamentales es la Región Sanitaria Departamental de Cortés, la cual alberga y brinda atención a un 27% de la población, por lo que presenta una alta demanda de recurso humano, físico e infraestructural.Estos fueron atendidos a raíz de la pandemia COVID-19, incorporando nuevos recursos, aprobando aumentos de presupuestos y con la apertura de nuevos establecimientos destinados a brindar atenciones en el primer nivel.A lo largo de esta investigación se hizo una descripción del primer nivel de atención sanitaria en Honduras; se recopilaron y visualizaron datos correspondientes a la pandemia COVID-19 con la finalidad de llevar a cabo un análisis de los mismos. Se utilizó una metodología mixta, por medio de la cual se evaluaron los datos obtenidos; a su vez, se elaboró y aplicó una encuesta al personal de salud en algunos de los centros de atención mencionados, mediante la cual se obtuvo una perspectiva de las consecuencias tanto positivas como negativas que hubo durante y post pandemia.
By 2005, the national health care network of the first level of care was made up of 18 departmental health departments and 2 metropolitan regions, which became the administrative units of the Secretariat of Health. A regional team was appointed for their direction, whose headquarters are usually located in the departmental capital, and on them depends the public health services network of SESAL for that department. One of these departments is the Departmental Health Region of Cortés, which houses and provides care to 27% of the population and therefore presents a high demand for human, physical, and infrastructural resources.These needs were addressed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, incorporating new resources, approving budget increases, and opening new facilities designed to provide first-level care.Throughout this research, a description of the first level of health care in Honduras was made. Data corresponding to the COVID-19 pandemic were collected and visualized in order to carry out an analysis. A mixed methodology was used, through which the obtained data were evaluated, and a survey was designed and applied to health personnel in some of the mentioned health care centers. Through this, a perspective of the positive and negative consequences during and after the pandemic was obtained.
