dc.description.abstract | In recent years, several outbreaks caused by multiresistant bacteria have been reported in the Region of the Americas, some of which were healthcare-associated infections. Reducing the incidence of these types of infections is part of the framework of the Plan of Action on Antimicrobial Resistance. Although most patients seek healthcare in the country in which they reside, there is an increasing proportion of persons traveling to receive outsourced medical, dental, or surgical care due to costs, access, or quality of care. This is usually referred to as medical tourism or health tourism. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | En los últimos años, en la Región de las Américas, se notificaron varios brotes causados por bacterias multirresistentes, algunos de ellos relacionados con la atención de salud. En el marco de la implementación del Plan de Acción sobre la resistencia a los antimicrobianos se tiene previsto reducir la incidencia de este tipo de infecciones. Si bien la mayoría de los pacientes busca atención de salud en el país en que reside, existe una proporción cada vez más creciente de personas que viajan para recibir cuidados médicos, dentales o quirúrgicos por razones de costo, acceso o calidad de atención. Esta práctica se conoce como turismo médico o turismo de salud. | es_ES |
