- Abstract
In the context of the health needs of our countries, the limited access to private health services and the crisis that we whiteness in the State as a health services provider, it is urgent to search for an alternative policy for health practices. In this respect we analyze in this paper the foundations and main component of a proposal of health education oriented towards the development of health consciousness, which we considered must be the central aspect of a new health policy. The proposal is framed within the actual international efforts for health prevention and personal and communitarian empowerment in heath issues. We conceived health consciousness as a human general capacity or competence that makes possible for individual persons and communities to develop health autonomy, which is the capacity to take care of themselves in relation to health issues.
