description This article presents the asymmetries between economic and social globalization, revealing the existing territorial inequalities in healthcare, as well as the rise of new demands with repercussion for social rights. The movements of capital and of productive processes take place in an intense manner, contrary to what occurs with the processes of social protection and healthcare, which continue to be limited to nation states. The initiatives in the countries of the European Union and Mercosur have not transcended isolated interventions, marked by the urgency of attention, and have not achieved the construction of rights on a regional level. The different healthcare systems and characteristics of coverage have not been placed in harmony, while there is a great diversity of attention to healthcare in the border regions. This is the case of the situations presented in the two regions in Spain, Estremadura and Catalunha, and in the region of the Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay border – in the cities of Foz de Iguaçu, Porto Iguaçu and Cidade do Leste.
