Abstract

The public health system is the result of the interaction of social, economic, political and cultural factors, in close relation to social values. Although it is true that times of healthcare shortage and the pandemic caused by the recent Covid 19 Coronavirus have highlighted the management problems of the healthcare organization worldwide. One of the least studied factors is the relationship of trust of the population towards the healthcare system, when, in fact, it is a fundamental dimension for understanding its functioning. This article discusses the concept of trust building between patients and their environment. Contrary to widespread assertions that continue to prioritize doctor- patient relationships, our research data show that the complex concept of trust requires a comprehensive approach by all actors in the public health sector.
