Sumario:Introduction: During the Pandemic secondary to the Coronavirus Respiratory Disease (COVID-19), the care of chronic diseases has been relegated. The Latin American Group of Rheumatic Diseases in Native Peoples (GLADERPO) and the Center for Applied Studies on Sociocultural Problems (CEAPROS), have worked with patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) residing in the city of Rosario and the Presidente Roque Sáenz Peña (PRSP) for several years, implementing different educational strategies. Objective: To describe the experience on the design and implementation of bilingual audiovisual material using two social networks, intended for RA patients living in Rosario and PRSP. Materials and Methods: Qualitative study. Two social networks (Facebook and WhatsApp) were used for the distribution of bilingual audiovisual material, designed jointly with representatives of the qom community. Topics were the impact of COVID-19 on RA patients. Results: A total of 40 patients participated in this study through participation in the dissemination of the videos. They were repeated twice due to lack of participation. Participation was less than 50%. Discussion: Digital educational strategies are not always useful in populations with sociocultural diversity. Inequalities have always existed and the pandemic has deepened them.
