Blog Post 4, Health in Chile

                       

  Im agree with the idea of Chile having a good structure in medicine, it's the 23rd healthiest countries in the world, but im afraid that pleasure is not for everybody, and it's a problem which we have to solve fast.
                       
                   One of the reasons why Chile has a good reputation on this it`s because there are a lot of clinics and hospitals located around all the main cities which permit the ambulances do travels really fast. The use of good medicaments and technology is also considered due the great advancement in our hospitals. Also, the government will give you a copayment if you dont have enough money and also receive treatment if you are in Fonasa. If you dont like the regular service you can pay for a private clinic or an Isapre. Freelancers should pay a little for an AFP and then they could pay it online.
                    The problems of this health system is the centralization, people who live far away from big cities have a lot of troubles trying to get good attention, they have to wait a long time to get these treatments. Also if you don't have enough money to pay a good healthcare, the attention will be disastrous and the only thing they gave you to get better it`s an Ibuprofen. To get a surgery, it will take a long time if you depend on Fonasa and you're not going to be able getting an specialist, only a doctor, so if you have an eye damaged, probably you aren`t going to be able to get an eye surgeon. Those people which have Fonasa A don`t pay anything to get healthcare, but they're obligated to use public hospitals. The goverment doesnt try to improve our medical problems and leave the people trying to solve their own health problems with public hospitals in bankrupt.

Chile has an acceptable medical health, but we need to deal with this inequality and make sure that every chilean should have a great medical service.
