Salud pública, Filantropia de la Fundación Rockefeller, Sri Lanka

Resumen

Las organizaciones de la sociedad civil están desempeñando un papel fundamental en la creación de capacidad de base en todo el mundo. La filantropía de la Fundación Rockefeller fue pionera en esta responsabilidad cívica, tanto en el país como en el extranjero, en el control de enfermedades epidémicas y en el desarrollo de la salud pública. Desde su criación, en 1913, la Fundación Rockefeller ha estado involucrada en una amplia gama de programas de salud pública en Sri Lanka (antes conocida como Ceilán), que se consideraba la clave de las actividades de la Fundación en Asia. La filantropia de Rockefeller llegó a Sri Lanka durante el dominion colonial europeo a principios del siglo XX y recebió una acogida hostil por parte de la administración colonial. Los empleados de la Fundación actuaran con cautela y escucharan a los ciudadanos locales en el desarollo de estrategias de salud publica. Estos esfuerzos han tenido éxito no solo en la lucha contra las enfermedades y la promoción de la salud, sino también en la obtención de un apoyo comunitario sostenido. Este artículo es una investigación crítica del programa y su papel en el desarrollo de una red de salud pública moderna en Sri Lanka.
