Sr. Editor El Perú cuenta con 4 millones de personas pertenecientes a pueblos indígenas u originarios 1; en donde la salud, entendida como un derecho fundamental que debe ser garantizado para todos y de manera integral, aún presenta obstáculos para ser otorgada de manera equitativa e intercultural. La situación mental, fundamento primordial de la salud, está definida como un estado de bienestar en el que la persona es capaz de hacer frente al estrés normal de la vida, de trabajar de forma productiva y de contribuir a su comunidad.2 Cabe resaltar que este concepto va a estar influenciado por diferentes determinantes biológicos y sociales, en especial por la cultura, los indicadores de pobreza y el bajo nivel educativo.
