Blog 2 - Healthcare system

 

The health system in Chile is a great example of the inequality we live in as a country. Literally a basic right, it defines social classes.



The aforementioned is evidenced by the existence of a large number of people who cannot access private clinics, one of the main reasons, they can not pay the consultation. Being quite unfair, because people are deprived of a right just because of their money. And they are even denying them in most cases an effective attention for their health.

It is known that public care is more deficient than private care. First you have to get a doctor's appointment, which is practically a miracle. They give you a date for two months from the time you ask for the appointment, if you are lucky. Second, people still know that doctors in private clinics are more qualified than those in public hospitals.

This is quite negative and questionable, why does your well being have to depend on your money, why do I have to have too much money to have decent medical care? Hopefully in future years this can change, and all people can have access to an efficient health care system.

  1. It is very incredible that the health and quality of people depend on their economic capital, and touching on your point in which you affirm that doctors from private clinics are far superior to those from public care, I tell you that I have met exceptional doctors in centers public health doctors, who operate there for a vocation issue. They are those that do not look for a screen and that fulfill a very important task when working without the equipment of a private clinic.

  2. Juan, your blog represents the anger of a lot of people, I have had family members who have gotten worse because of long waits or who have gone to a clinic in order to save their lives. I know that change will not come soon, but even if it takes a while, I hope that the system will be more equitable in those areas.

  3. It's sad to see how people die from not having good medical care, just because they don't have money. I think that a thing as basic as health should not be commodified. I am also hopeful that this will change in the future. Best regards.
