ABSTRACT
Today, the majority of Latin American health systems are constituted of an active private sector alongside the public sector. While some attention has been given to the gendered impact of privatization in health across the region, mainly in lower-income counties, little attention has been given to the impact of privatization in middle-income countries. The small body of existing research on the gendered implications of health sector reform in Latin America has argued that questions of gender equity have not been adequately addressed (Ewig, 2010; Gideon, 2014).
