Title: | Managing the covid-19 pandemic in Jalisco: from policy differ-entiation to bureaucratic discretion La gestión de la pandemia de covid-19 en Jalisco: de la diferenciación a la discrecionalidad |
Publisher: | Universidad de Guadalajara |
Description: | This paper analyzes the health sector’s response in Jalisco to the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 from two perspectives: the state government and medical personnel. The first emphasizes how the Jalisco government aimed to deviate from the federal government in its crisis management, specifically in its epidemiological surveillance mechanism. The second, based on in-depth interviews with medical personnel, gives an account of the restrictions these actors faced, highlighting the scarcity of resources, the protection measures for personnel, the characteristics of the work environment, and the effects on workers’ personal lives. It is argued that, in a context of weak institutionalization, the discretionary action of medical personnel does not deliberately seek to distort the policy goals to confront the crisis, but rather it is the way to overcome the various obstacles they face in carrying out their tasks. Este trabajo analiza la respuesta del sector salud en Jalisco a la pandemia de COVID-19 durante 2020 desde dos perspectivas: la del gobierno estatal y la del personal médico. La primera enfatiza cómo el gobierno de Jalisco buscó marcar una diferencia con el gobierno federal en su gestión de la crisis, específicamente en su mecanismo de vigilancia epidemiológica. La segunda, basada en entrevistas a profundidad con personal médico, da cuenta de las restricciones que dichos actores enfrentaron, destacando la escasez de recursos, las medidas de protección al personal, las características del entorno laboral y los efectos sobre la vida personal de los trabajadores de la salud. Se arguye que, en un contexto de institucionalización débil, la actuación discrecional del personal médico no busca deliberadamente distorsionar los objetivos de las políticas para enfrentar la crisis, sino es la manera de sortear los diversos obstáculos de para sacar adelante sus tareas. |
