Barbara Starfield, el rigor de la Medicina de Familia

 "Tenemos actualmente buena evidencia científica proveniente de estudios a nivel nacional, regional, local e individual de que una buena atención primaria de salud se asocia con mejores resultados en salud, menores costes y mejor equidad sanitaria."

Barbara Starfield

 

Una de mis referentes en el campo de la medicina de familia es la profesora Barbara Starfield (1932-2011) impulsora como pocos del papel central de la Atención Primaria en los sistemas sanitarios. Recomiendo tanto a los estudiantes de ciencias de la salud como a los profesionales en ejercicio que la tengan en cuenta.
