Abstract
La presente investigación identifica los factores que han incidido en la calidad de la
prestación de servicios de salud y la alta morbimortalidad de médicos durante la primera
ola de la pandemia por el Covid-19 en la Región Loreto. El presente estudio es de
enfoque cualitativo-cuantitativo, transversal y tipo descriptivo. Se aplicó una entrevista,
especialmente diseñada para la investigación, la cual fue aplicada a un total de 18
profesionales de la salud, entre el Hospital Regional de Loreto, Hospital de Apoyo Iquitos,
Hospital EsSalud Iquitos, Centro de Salud I-3 Pebas y Hospital II-2 Tarapoto, con la
finalidad de realizar una comparación del nivel de calidad. Los resultados demuestran
que la Región Loreto tiene una Baja Calidad de los Servicios de Salud a comparación de
la Región San Martín que contempla un nivel de calidad Regular, los principales factores
que incidieron en la baja calidad de Loreto fueron: Infraestructura y Equipamiento, debido
a que los Establecimientos de salud no contaban con la capacidad instalada óptima
(hacinamiento), asimismo, el material de la infraestructura era inadecuada; asimismo, el
factor de Recursos Humanos, debido a la brecha de médicos especialistas y la falta de
pagos a los trabajadores, conllevó al colapso de los establecimientos por la limitada
ofertada de profesionales de la salud; el factor Logístico, existió desabastecimiento de
Equipos de Protección Personal (EPP), medicamentos, insumos y pruebas rápidas; el
factor Geográfico, las barreras geográficas fueron las principales limitantes para la
atención oportuna de los pobladores y profesionales debido a que no existe transporte y,
el factor Social, en el cual influyó el comportamiento de la población frente a la pandemia,
la especulación del sector privado y la falta de liderazgo de los actores sociales.
Finalmente, se concluye que la Baja Calidad de la prestación del servicio de salud
durante la pandemia en la región Loreto, conllevó en una situación crítica a la población
de Loreto, pero sobre todo al personal de salud que presentó el mayor nivel de
morbimortalidad en todo el Perú.
