Abstract

En Paraguay, la mayoría de los proyectos de investigación y publicaciones en salud desarrollados hasta el presente, son productos de esfuerzos individuales o de grupos de investigadores. La investigación científica en el área de la salud en nuestro país se realiza en forma fragmentada en el seno de instituciones académicas de nivel terciario y de postgrado del sector público y privado ó de programas de residencia médica en hospitales especializados. Una de las instituciones de postgrado en el área de la salud es el Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud (IICS) de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción (UNA), creado en el año 1980, que cuenta con la mayor producción científica indexada en ésa área en el país.
