| Summary: | It is known that the child population is the most susceptible population group to the impact of the environment, which is why several diseases affecting children, including diarrhea and gastrointestinal diseases can be attributed to modifiable environmental factors such as poverty, water unfit for human consumption, inadequate sanitation and contaminated food. In Santander, such diseases are among the leading causes of consultation at all levels of care for children under 12 years. This paper shows the results of a diagnostic study and even corresponds to a partial view of the problem meant to show the socio environment in which children grow up. The selected indicators show that there is an unequal distribution of resources in the Department, with a high percentage of poor sanitation and lack of food contamination, factors that likely contribute to maintaining the high prevalence of these diseases. |
