ABSTRACT

Intersectoral action in health refers to actions led by the health sector based on coordinated national and local policies, strategically oriented to address priority health issues where actions by other sectors can have a decisive impact on health outcomes. A Cuban example of this approach is the joint efforts by the Ministry of Public Health and the biotechnology industry in development and application of technologies for cervical cancer screening, early detection and treatment. The resulting products have been used by the National Health System since 2010, as part of efforts to reduce cervical cancer mortality. This is an example of intersectoral action intended to identify and contribute to solving problems affecting people’s well-being and quality of life.
