Resumen

Objetivo: Examinar las estrategias innovadoras para reducir barreras de acceso a servicios de salud en áreas rurales y urbano-marginales, analizar su efectividad, identificar lecciones aprendidas y discutir desafíos futuros.

Métodos: Se realizó una revisión narrativa de literatura académica y gris publicada entre 2013-2023, utilizando bases de datos como PubMed, Scopus y Google Scholar. Se incluyeron artículos, informes y estudios de caso sobre estrategias de acceso a salud en áreas desatendidas.

Resultados: Se identificaron cinco estrategias principales: telemedicina y salud móvil, unidades móviles de salud, formación de personal local, integración de medicina tradicional y occidental, y programas de incentivos económicos. La evidencia sugiere que estas estrategias pueden mejorar significativamente el acceso a servicios de salud, aunque su efectividad depende del contexto local y la implementación. Factores clave de éxito incluyen la participación comunitaria, adaptación al contexto local e integración con sistemas existentes. Desafíos persistentes incluyen sostenibilidad financiera, infraestructura inadecuada y resistencia al cambio.

Conclusiones: Mejorar el acceso a servicios de salud en áreas rurales y marginadas requiere un enfoque multisectorial, inversión en infraestructura y tecnología, fortalecimiento de la fuerza laboral de salud, y mecanismos de adaptabilidad y aprendizaje continuo. Se necesita más investigación sobre impacto a largo plazo, modelos de financiamiento innovadores y aplicación de tecnologías emergentes.
