The conception of health is closely related to the notion of land, since in order to have health it is necessary to belong to a cosmos, permeated by mutual respect between the most different beings, in a constant struggle to ennoble the ch’ulel (spirit) and thus to walk to the lekil kuxlejal (Good Living). To put these principles into practice, healthcare is carried out by autonomous health promoters and communal assemblies.https://www.reciis.icict.fiocruz.br/index.php/reciis/article/view/1856saúde autônomapromotores de saúdemovimento zapatistaantropologia da saúdeméxico.
