The main challenges in Health should focus on the promotion of healthy living, the development of dissemination strategies and communication of relevant information to patients and the public, as well as the improvement in access to health services by of the rural inhabitants of our region.

Among the concrete actions to take into account regarding solutions to the health challenge, we consider: access to information by patients and citizens, the fight against excess weight and obesity in preschool and primary school, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, and education in sexual and reproductive health.

The following are questions that encourage social innovation in the challenge of Health:

• How do we promote self-care practices to prevent contagion and risks associated with sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents and adults?
• How can we guide people and their families in decision-making during an illness or accident?
• In what way can we provide support to families with a member suffering from a disabling illness, as well as the caregivers of these severe dependents?
• How do we promote healthy living in the community as a mechanism for wellbeing and disease prevention?
• How do we approach the cultural and social effects that an immigrant’s needs places upon the health system?
• How do we promote new forms of care and accompaniment for seniors and their families?
• How do we approach and facilitate the offer of goods and services to the elderly, who might be at risk of dependency?
• How can the community contribute to the improvement of living conditions for the elderly?
• How can we create a timely and effective system of detection, management and referral for people with a mental disorder during their life cycle?
• How do we prevent depression and how can we help change its perception culturally and socially?
• How can behaviors that protect mental health be promoted in the community?
• How can a diagnostic protocol be designed based on the needs of rural communities that allows for effective support based on local realities?
