Abstract
Se presenta la experiencia y la práctica profesional de una brigada médica cubana que prestó colaboración en la zona del Eje Cafetero Colombiano después del terremoto de 25 de enero de 1999. Las acciones fueron dirigidas a las áreas de atención primaria de salud, atención primaria ambiental, saneamiento ambiental y vigilancia epidemiológica, tomando en cuenta la organización de los damnificados en alojamientos de emergencia, en un municipio afectado. La vigilancia epidemiológica activa puso de manifiesto que las principales causas de morbilidad fueron las infecciones respiratorias agudas, las enfermedades diarreicas agudas y las afecciones de la piel. En los asentamientos se observó una correspondencia entre las malas condiciones de saneamiento ambiental y determinadas enfermedades asociadas. La experiencia de este trabajo de campo puede servir como guía para los profesionales de salud en caso de desastres y poblaciones desplazadas.
The present article describes the experience of the Cuban Medical Team in the Colombian Coffee Area after the earthquake of January 25, 1999. The interventions were directed at the areas of primary health care, primary environmental care, environmental health, and epidemiological surveillance, bearing in mind the organization of earthquake victims sheltered in emergency settlements in the affected municipality. Active epidemiological surveillance showed that the main causes of morbidity were acute diarrheic diseases, acute respiratory infections, and skin diseases. Evaluation of the settlements showed a correlation between poor environmental health conditions and associated diseases. The results of this field study could serve as a guide for health professionals in the event of disasters and displaced populations.
