Limited access to basic health services remains a big problem for Indigenous communities across all continents. Indigenous populations in many countries have experienced poorer health outcomes compared to non-Indigenous populations. Mainstream health services have not adequately met the health needs of Indigenous Peoples in both rural and urban settings.

Covid-19 is still a grave reality, now with a new strain of the virus spreading across the world. When the pandemic first began, we did not expect it to last this long, and no one expected that it would spread so widely and have such a disastrous impact. As we move into 2021, it continues to be crucial to maintain social distance, avoid large groups of people, wash or sanitize our hands and wear masks consistently to stop the spread of the virus.

Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

COVID-19 sigue siendo una situación de gravedad, más ahora con nuevas variaciones del virus que se extiende por todo el mundo. La segunda ola del virus está afectando a muchos países principalmente en comunidades Indígenas donde ahora ya no solo los niños y ancianos son vulnerables, las nuevas variaciones de Covid19 están afectando a todos en general.

Ha pasado más de un año y los efectos por covid-19 se siguen sintiendo mucho más debido a la segunda ola y sus variaciones, según la revista RTVE señala que a la fecha se han registrado 3,348,843 muertes en el mundo. Ante esta situación alarmante se ha acelerado algunas  respuesta para evitar que más personas se sigan contagiando, entre ellas está la aplicación de vacunas contra covid-19, el cual en muchos países ya se ha aplicado a personal médico, servidores públicos y   personas de la tercera edad. 

Después de más de un año Covid-19 ha dejado más de 3,382,561 muertes en el mundo según el sistema de monitoreo de Covid-19 de la Universidad de Medicina John Hopkins. Esta crisis sanitaria ha dejado en evidencia el acceso limitado a los servicios básicos de salud el cual sigue siendo un reto de gran escala para las comunidades Indígenas de todos los continentes y la emergencia sanitaria por Covid-19 ha dejado más en evidencia esta precaria situación.

El temazcal es una tradición antigua con efectos medicinales transmitida por nuestros abuelos y abuelas. Sirve para bañar a las mujeres que darán a luz o que recientemente han tenido un hijo, para calentar el cuerpo y la matriz, para bañar al recién nacido, para prevenir enfermedades respiratorias, entre otras cosas. En estos tiempos de la pandemia por Covid-19 es recomendado hacer baños de temazcal para mantener nuestro cuerpo fuerte y sano. 

La pandemia de Covid-19 sigue causando estragos a nivel mundial, por lo cual es indispensable que los integrantes de pueblos y comunidades Indígenas continuemos cuidándonos, especialmente frente al desarrollo de nuevas variantes de esta enfermedad respiratoria. Una de las formas de cuidarnos es practicar medidas de higiene básicas como el lavado de manos y el uso de gel antibacterial. 

De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la higiene alimentaria es el conjunto de condiciones y medidas que deben estar presentes en todas las etapas de producción, almacenamiento, transformación, transporte, conservación y cocción de los alimentos para asegurar su salubridad. Durante esta pandemia por Covid-19 es indispensable que garanticemos la limpieza de lo que consumimos, con el fin de evitar contraer enfermedades.  

De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la salud mental es un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social, que permite a la persona realizar sus actividades, hacer frente al estrés normal de la vida, trabajar de forma productiva y contribuir a su comunidad; es decir, la salud mental no es únicamente la ausencia de trastornos o enfermedades mentales. Durante esta pandemia de Covid-19, es indispensable que en los pueblos y comunidades Indígenas garanticemos nuestra salud mental.  

¿Sabes qué es la salud social y qué factores influyen para garantizarla? De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la salud es un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social; y la salud social es la habilidad para la adaptación y la autogestión ante los cambios y desafíos del entorno, así como la capacidad para desarrollar relaciones satisfactorias con otras personas.
