Abstract (English): This dialogue seeks to problematize the relevance and implications of calling medicine the systems of knowledge and practices known as ancestral, complementary, natural, and traditional medicine in the context of Latin America and the Caribbean. The current reflection is based on reflective-analytical and constructive-interpretive methods and is guided by the philosophical paradigm of hermeneutics. A spectrum of pragmatic convergences with biomedicine is identified (integration into services and the search for evidence), but divergences in the conception of the relationship between body, health, disease, environment, and the validation of knowledge. The Latin American and Caribbean region shows normative progress, although challenges persist in intercultural implementation and equitable recognition. Power tensions are evident and effective integration requires overcoming assimilationist models, which is why it is necessary to adopt interculturality as an operational principle, develop mixed research methodologies, and guarantee a dialogue of knowledges that respects cognitive justice and health sovereignty in all spaces.

Abstract (Spanish): La presente dialógica busca problematizar sobre la pertinencia y las implicaciones de denominar medicina a los sistemas de conocimiento y prácticas conocidas como medicina ancestral, complementaria, natural y tradicional en el contexto de América Latina y el Caribe. La actual reflexión se apoyó en los métodos reflexivo-analítico y el constructivo-interpretativo y está verticalizada por el paradigma filosófico de la hermenéutica. Se identifica un espectro de convergencias pragmáticas con la biomedicina (integración en servicios y búsqueda de evidencia), pero divergencias en la concepción de la relación entre cuerpo, salud, enfermedad, medio ambiente y la validación del conocimiento. La región latinoamericana y caribeña muestra avances normativos, aunque persisten desafíos en la implementación intercultural y el reconocimiento equitativo. Se evidencia una tensión de poderes y la integración efectiva requiere superar modelos asimilacionistas, por lo que es necesario adoptar la interculturalidad como principio operativo, desarrollar metodologías de investigación mixtas y garantizar un diálogo de saberes que respete la justicia cognitiva y la soberanía sanitaria en todos los espacios.
