Blog 2 - health service in Chile
Hello to everyone, I hope that you and your families are
fine in this context that we are living. Today I´m gonna talk about what I think
of the healt service in Chile. First of all, I wanna tell you that the system
is so unequal in every city or location of the country. For example, in my región,
that was Tarapacá, we have one hospital for all communes and localitys that
compose it.
However, I wanna tell you about a experience that my brother
suffer and that proof the unequal heal sevice is along the country, not only the
offer that every region had, but also the quality of the service. A few years
ago, my brother had a injury on his knee and we try with many specialists in my
city (Iquique), but we don´t had solution. My brother and my mom need to travel
to Santiago so that my brother recover of his injury. Fortunately, my family have
the resources to travel for a disease or injury, but not all families can do
that.
In conclusion, I think
that the health service in our country is very inequal, not only about the
difference that exist between public and private system, but also the differences
between regions throughout the country.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I also had to travel from my city (Iquique) to Santiago to make an eyes surgery.
ResponderBorrarI agree with you, evereything is harder in regions that are not Santiago. I remember that when a was 4 or so, in San Antonio my mom has a coworker that had a daughter who got appendicitis wich was later peritonitis. They had to travel to Valparaíso urgently to get an injury, but on the way the girl died. It was so sad and unfair because the girl died just because they have to travel to get better, something that shouldn't happen.
