description Field research in Bioethics. Objective: To analyze from a bioethical perspective the situations experienced in the Catatumbo region of Colombia by healthcare personnel belonging to the medical mission (MM), by establishing connections from the theoretical perspective of social conflict. Methodology: Historical-hermeneutic paradigm, with a phenomenological approach, framed in socio-contextual factors. Approved by the Ethics Committee of the health entity. Through in-depth interviews with healthcare personnel in the Catatumbo armed conflict zone. Results: Two emerging categories were identified: 1) Social injustice that prevents dignified conditions for the parties involved; and 2) Direct and indirect actors in the conflict legitimize an oppressive culture. As conclusions, it is evident in the stories, that health care is an interaction hindered by groups that are part of the armed conflict, which resort to various forms of hostility: from confrontations to acts of revenge, involving members, means and facilities of the Medical Mission, (which are seen by the parties in conflict as an expression of institutionality, which makes them targets of their attacks) in actions that violate International Humanitarian Law (IHL). From a bioethical perspective, it is necessary to reflect on these violations to health personnel (due to the conflict of bioethical principles). Non-maleficence prevails over beneficence, the lack of autonomy makes beneficial health actions impossible for the population, social injustice takes precedence over the principle of health justice and prevents orienting the meaning of their work around respect, protection, and defense of life and human dignity.
