PhD project	Health care and therapeutic complementarity strategies among Peruvian inmigrants living in Buenos Aires The present Project proposes to investigate the contents of cultural conscience about the health-disease processes experienced by Peruvian migrants settled in the Metropolitan Area. The selected population develops different strategies based on the cultural meanings that they make to the health care, they are constructed socially and culturally in certain circumstances and from these they develop different responses to the ailments. It starts from the idea that the population attends to its health from the overlap between biomedicine, traditional medicines, self-treatments, religious medicines and alternative medicines, categories that have been widely supported by Idoyaga Molina (2005 and 2007) . It is worth clarifying that we speak of self-treatment because each type of medicine generates its forms of self-care (Idoyaga Molina 2003). On the other hand, Advance (1980) had already noticed that the forms of self-care respond to paradigms of different medicines, proposing to distinguish two categories of self-care: popular medicine that responds to the paradigm of biomedicine and medicines That respond to the paradigms of other medicines. Analyzing these phenomena will allow us to know the meanings that subjects give to their illnesses, the explanations about them, the healing processes and the "overlaps" of medicines that they perform for that purpose, in a particular historical and social context. In recent years, Argentina has received a large number of immigrants, from neighboring countries (mostly from Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay).Fact that shows for itself the relevance of studies on this subject, which has not yet been specifically addressed. That is why, our work covers a cognitive deficiency, which also has an impact on health and social policies.
