Programa de Coordinación en Salud Integral (PROCOSI)

Programa de Coordinación en Salud Integral (PROCOSI)

Programa de Coordinación en Salud Integral / Integral Health Coordination Program (PROCOSI) is a leading comprehensive health network in Bolivia that promotes strategic actions linking human well-being with the sustainability of the natural environment. Through a social determinants of health approach, the organization implements community-based health programmes that not only strengthen the public health system but also address the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation across the country.

PROCOSI’s interventions prioritize building the resilience of rural and Indigenous families by promoting access to safe water and basic sanitation as fundamental measures for preventing prevalent diseases. The organization also plays a leading role in responsible waste management, integrating efforts to mitigate the technological carbon footprint within its digital psycho-emotional support services.

This comprehensive vision recognizes that health is inseparable from ecosystem protection and promotes adaptive practices in response to climate-related disasters that exacerbate social vulnerability. By coordinating a network of partner organizations, PROCOSI delivers a technically sound response that transforms environmental challenges into opportunities to strengthen health sovereignty. In doing so, it helps ensure that children’s development takes place in healthy, equitable, and pollution-free environments, thereby contributing to a resilient model of well-being in the face of the current global crisis.
