Description
Summary:The analysis of the health situation allows to characterize, measure and explain the health-illness profile of a population, including damages or health problems, as well as their determinants and trends. It promotes the identification of inequalities in risks, in damages, as well as evaluating the strategies designed for the solution of health problems.

The objective of this work is to reflect on the health situation analysis and the challenges that this activity still faces in our environment.
