Abstract

The article presents the framework, development and results of a study which concludes that bioethical issues can be treated with interest and profit (with appropriate adaptations and methodologies) in community activities. Above all, bioethics must promote and permeate a community action developed by primary care centres, imbricated with individual attention, promoting participation and citizen empowerment, integrated intersectorally with other systems in the territory and committed to justice.
