This article talks about the health and disease in the community and district of Tupe, which it is located in Yauyos’s province, department of Lima. From an ethnographic perspective, there are described the services that offers the Healthcare center of Tupe and the traditional practices of treatment. One finds, on the one hand, small coverage of health from the State and, on the other hand, the utilization of medicinal plants and rites of treatment between the population as form of treatment of the disease. In this way, the knowledge and traditional medical practices which the population possesses constitute cultural resources to confront to the diseases inside the limited coverage of health that the State destines for rural populations as Tupe.
