What do you think of the health service in our country?

 

I feel that the health system in Chile is a service that is basically collapsed, unfortunately it is not sufficient for the population and does not guarantee health care for the patients who do not have sufficient resources to resort a better quality service.

Most people in the country are attended in public hospitals, CESFAM, COSAM, rehabilitation centers, community centers, etc. and in all these services there are deficiencies that impide a good care for the person, there are always waiting lists where they can spend from months to YEARS without receiving the care they deserve, in fact, many people have died and no one called them so that they could finally be attended.

For the same reason, many times the attention offered is bad, they do not give the solution to the problem and the only thing they say is "you have to come another day very early to get an appointment", so you have to be at 7 in the morning standing in line, exposing yourself to the cold and the danger of being in the streets at that time of the day. Besides, the coverage it has is very inefficient and limited, not enough to cover the needs of the people, so many must go into debt to be able to fight their disease.

People need an efficient, quality health service, capable of solving people's problems and  their illnesses.
