This study aims to determine the progress that has been made regarding the development of the Intercultural Health Policy in Perú, the challenges that must be overcame in the short and long term in order to make this policy more effective and efficient, identify and seize opportunities to accelerate its construction process. From 2010 to 2013, a total sample of thirty-one (31) depth interviews (semistructured) to intercultural health policy directors program`s and civil society representatives. The technique snowball was utilized to complete the sample. The results obtained indicate that there is not a genuine Intercultural Health Policy in Perú. The progress made is limited to a set of legal provisions regulating the relevance and cultural appropriateness of public health services, especially with vertical delivery intercultural adaptation and maternal waiting houses. Among the challenges, we have undergraduate medical training of a biologist. That determines health policy to be most oriented to the disease that to health itself, dominated by a quantitative approach, of coverage, demand and goals, with a big gap regarding the sociocultural part of health. The lack of political will by the Peruvian government to consolidate this intercultural health policy as well as the lack of organization of indigenous communities, especially in the mountains, along with a lack of citizen involvement, had been other barriers identified in this study. Among the opportunities it has been identified decentralization as a state policy that allows an approach between citizens and their authorities, and with the new distribution of power in each region, also the articulation at a theoretical level of multiculturalism with a structural issues in our society such as racism and discrimination. Key Words: Interculturalism, public health, health policy, social policy.
