Person-centered medicine (PCM) is a programmatic global initiative led by the International College of Person-Centered Medicine. It has recently emerged in Latin America. It requires the use of scientific research as an instrument to generate the best clinical evidence, and humanism as the essence of medicine to help mankind. It is focused on not only combatting disease but also promoting the display of healthy human being potentials towards achieving well-being and comprehensive growth. Although the humanism of medicine in Latin America has been a distinctive characteristic of its practice, now, there is a worrying decline in its impact on healthcare. This article summarizes the Latin American perspective from four countries. Needs and experiences are compared and responses that arise in view of the dehumanizing influence of technology and health management as a consumption good are described.
以患者为中心的医学（PCM）是一项由国际以患者为中心的医学学院牵头的全球性倡议项目。它最近在拉丁美洲出现。该倡议要求将科学研究作为生成最佳临床证据的工具，并将人文主义作为医学的本质以帮助人类。它不仅专注于对抗疾病，还致力于促进展现人类健康潜能以实现幸福和全面成长。尽管医学人文主义一直是拉丁美洲医疗实践的一个显著特征，但如今，其对医疗保健的影响却令人担忧地下降了。本文总结了来自四个国家的拉丁美洲观点。比较了需求和经验，并描述了鉴于技术的非人性化影响以及将健康管理视为消费品的情况而产生的应对措施。
