Resumen
El paradigma científico de la complejidad establece vínculos entre la salud y la economía que abren oportunidades para reflexionar a partir de tendencias teóricas actuales y casos prácticos que existen en el sector público mexicano. Con el objetivo de abonar a dicha reflexión, en este documento se hace una revisión del término economía circular, se mencionan algunos ejemplos publicados en la literatura internacional y se señalan casos mexicanos similares que están en desarrollo, pero que no han sido planteados desde una visión transdisciplinar de salud y economía. En el contexto de esta revista científica, orientada a los profesionales de la salud, se estima relevante provocar nuevas conversaciones que animen la vinculación con otros sectores que pueden enriquecer la práctica médica y la investigación científica.
Abstract
The paradigm of complexity establishes links between health and economy which enable opportunities to reflect on current theoretical trends and practical cases, existing in the Mexican public sector. With the aim of contributing to such reflection, this document makes a theoretical review of the term circular economy, mentions some examples published in international literature, and points out similar Mexican cases under development, which have not been proposed from a health and economics transdisciplinary vision. In the context of this scientific journal, targeted for health professionals, it is deemed relevant to induce new conversations that encourage establishing links with other sectors to enrich medical practice and scientific research.
