Proyecto para la implementación de un proceso de acompañamiento dirigo al personal sanitario del hospital general IESS Santo Domingo en la atención integral de pacientes con VIH/SIDA.

Abstract

Stigma and discrimination against people with HIV present in health services is one of the main obstacles that public health must put an end to this pandemic. This project exposes the main definitions related to the topic, the normative and strategic agenda in force in Ecuador, as well as the analysis of causes within the General Hospital IESS Santo Domingo with a proposal to reduce stigma and discrimination within this health environment, legitimizing the right to health. Additionally, it includes an action plan based on the results of the application of the questionnaire: "Measuring stigma and discrimination towards HIV among people who work in health facilities: brief questionnaire" (Annex 11), being a tool for monitoring Global indicators created by the Health Policy Project.
