Abstract
The study of this article focuses on the importance of the Perception of the population of the District of Chitré on the Single Health Census, its objective is to describe the Perception of the population of the district of Chitré on the Single Health Census and its assessment as a future national project. The methodology was cross-sectional, qualitative and descriptive. A sample of 100 among the five townships of Chitré, people with different ages between 20 and 69 years of age, highlighting their crucial role in the promotion and well-being of people’s health, as the census helps to identify the health needs of the population, allowing better planning of primary care and the prevention of chronic diseases. The Single National Health Census in Panama would be a fundamental tool for making accurate decisions and for investment in future health platforms. The proposal is presented through a Scientific Article within the Semilla Cientifica Magazine, using a descriptive methodology that includes surveys to raise awareness among community authorities about the needs to implement a single Health Census at the National Level, deducing that with the description of Perception of the district of Chitré we have agreed that the respondents as a whole express the need for Panama to carry out a Single Health Census project, which will define many health situations such as budget, chronic or hereditary diseases within families, among other relevant and determining aspects.
