| Abstract (English): | Objective. The objective of this study is to prepare a "Concept Map on Health and Intellectual Property in Central America and the Dominican Republic" in order to help identify the main access barriers to health, especially medicines, and to guide state authorities toward actions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of policies. Methods. The report "Concept Map on Public Health and Intellectual Property, Regional Perspective: Central America and the Dominican Republic" was analyzed. Then the knowledge generation and management methodology was applied and a search strategy was identified to recover the information for preparation of the concept maps. Results. The legal framework and institutional structure, as well as policies, programs, plans, and strategies for health and intellectual property, were identified. A set of barriers that hinder access to medicines was also identified, as well as solutions to overcome them. Conclusions. In Central America and the Dominican Republic, health strategies, policies, programs, and plans are in place, but unfortunately their scope and degree of dissemination is uneven. This, together with social and economic factors, explains why health inequity persists between and within countries. The identified barriers to access to medicines included the expansion and strengthening of the rights of pharmaceutical patent-holders, problems with implementing the flexibilities of the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, pricing policies, and strict regulatory standards.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo. El objetivo del presente estudio es elaborar un "mapa conceptual de salud pública y propiedad intelectual de Centroamérica y República Dominicana" que facilite la identificación de las principales barreras que inciden en el acceso a la salud, y en especial a los medicamentos, y que sirva de guía de acción a las autoridades estatales para mejorar la eficiencia de sus políticas y la efectividad de sus acciones. Métodos. Se realizó el análisis del informe "MC SPPI; Perspectiva Regional: Centroamérica y República Dominicana". Posteriormente, se utilizó la Metodología para la Gestión y Generación de Conocimiento y se identificó la estrategia de búsqueda que permitió recobrar la información para la confección de los mapas conceptuales. Resultados. Se identificaron el marco legal, la estructura institucional y las políticas, programas, planes y estrategias en temas de salud y propiedad intelectual, así como un conjunto de barreras que inciden negativamente en el acceso a los medicamentos y las soluciones que las contrarresten. Conclusiones. En Centroamérica y la República Dominicana existen estrategias, políticas, programas y planes relacionados con la salud, aunque, lamentablemente, su alcance y grado de difusión difieren, lo que, unido a factores sociales y económicos, explica que persista la inequidad sanitaria entre los países. Entre las barreras al acceso a los medicamentos se identificaron la ampliación y refuerzo de los derechos de los titulares de patentes farmacéuticas, dificultades en la implementación de las flexibilidades de los Aspectos de los Derechos de Propiedad Intelectual relacionados con el Comercio, políticas de fijación de precios y estándares regulatorios estrictos.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Objetivo. Elaborar um mapa conceitual de saúde pública e propriedade intelectual na América Central e na República Dominicana para facilitar identificar as principais barreiras ao acesso à saúde, em particular ao acesso aos medicamentos, e servir de guia às autoridades públicas para melhorar a eficiência das políticas e a efetividade das ações. Métodos. Foi analisado o relatório Mapa conceitual de saúde pública e propriedade intelectual (MC SPPI); perspectiva regional: América Central e República Dominicana. Foi usada a metodologia para análise de gestão e geração de conhecimento e identificada a estratégia de busca que permitiu recuperar a informação para a construção dos mapas conceituais. Resultados. Foram identificados o enquadramento jurídico, a estrutura institucional e as políticas, programas, planos e estratégias de saúde e propriedade intelectual e uma série de barreiras que interferem negativamente no acesso aos medicamentos e as soluções para eliminá-las. Conclusões. Na América Central e na República Dominicana, existem estratégias, políticas, programas e planos de saúde, porém eles têm alcance e disseminação distintos que, ao lado de fatores sociais e econômicos, explicam por que persiste a falta de equidade em saúde entre os países. Entre as barreiras ao acesso aos medicamentos estão o reforço e a ampliação dos direitos dos detentores de patentes farmacêuticas, dificuldades na implementação das flexibilidades dos Aspectos dos Direitos de Propriedade Intelectual Relacionados ao Comércio, políticas de fixação de preços e normas reguladoras estritas.
