Objective: Describe what has been the progress of the right to health, of people with disabilities in Colombia and other countries in Latin América. Method: In this study, a scope review was carried out of the available documents that cover the situation of the right to health in the population with disabilities in Latin America, published between 2010 and 2020, and excluding any document that contemplated geographical areas different from Latin America and that include other rights other than the right to health. Results: From the review it is obtained that there is a marked heterogeneity in the conception and approach of the documentation that addresses the right to health in the population with disabilities, this in part due to its conception, which still continues to have a biomedical approach and leaves aside the biopsychosocial approach.
