Allocation criteria for scarce resources during the Covid-19 pandemic: the case of peruvian indigenous leaders

Abstract

This article discusses and analyzes various criteria used for the allocation of scarce resources, such as ICU beds, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. It argues the need to evaluate the allocation of ICU beds through a decisional methodology of multiple criteria, as well as the importance of discussing the inclusion of the criterion that emphasizes the value of the person, which, interpreted in a broad sense, would allow the inclusion of indigenous leaders and not only health personnel.
