Abstract
This article aims to analyze Equity Promotion Policies in Health implemented by the Ministry of Health for vulnerable groups, through the Department of Strategy and Participative Management based on race, ethnicity, gender and lifestyle markers. The three structural elements of these policies are identified as: participatory management, transversality and awareness / professional qualifications. In carrying out research for this article, different documental sources were used including: policies, videos, conferences and minutes from council meetings as well as information from health committees. The results showed positive aspects and shortcomings in the implementation process of these policies. Also, they revealed that there are permanent tensions between equality policies and equity policies which pose challenges to guaranteeing the right to health of these populations. Finally, it can be reaffirmed that only in democratic societies can these rights be recognized and guaranteed.
