BONAL RUIZ, Rolando. Health Advocacy, the forgotten part of health promotion in family medicine. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.1, e860.  Epub 30-Jul-2019. ISSN 0864-2125.

Introduction:

Health advocacy is a health promotion strategy and an essential and fundamental component of it, but it does not always looks like this, sometimes it is confused or exchanged with the promotion of health itself.

Objective:

To carry out a bibliographical review on the term ´´health advocacy´´ and its relationship with the promotion of health and family medicine. Methods: Documentary analysis of the literature found in data and analysis bases, and summary of these documents from a socio-historical and logical approach.

Conclusions:

Although it is a suggested topic for inclusion in family medicine training programs according to global standards of the World Organization of Family and General Physicians (2013), there are very few references in the Hispanic and Latin American literature on Family Medicine. Health advocacy is usually underestimated and ignored as part of health promotion in family medicine, it is an attitude, a competence and a social responsibility of the general practitioners.

Palavras-chave : Health advocacy; family medicine; primary care.
