The health service in Chile
I think what the medicine in Chile its really good in the private hospital and clinic things what result really expensive but in the public health system its really a theme to treat and need to improve, and I lived some experinces about that.
General the medice its really expensive indepedent of the treament or specially bring a the waiting list in the public system for be more cheap. Normally the consultation or the treatments are expensive and a meansure what give the country its the public health like FONASA, its the more commun to the low and medium ressources, divide in letters depending of the your income and paying directly of his. For be the more commun almost always its over capacity generating the famous waiting list, the people having wait for months or years a treatment. Without going far my father the last year was diagnoted with stomach cancer in November and for the resources all the treatment was realized for Fonasa having to wait three months over the firts date to operate, thanks god all result good. Another bad experience when a was 15 years for two diferents negligences I almost die of appendicitis, illness what normally in one week you are in home, the firts one, a wrong diagnost in the local doctor with a simple stomach pain making wait two days to found the real diagnostic in a urgency doctor and late in the middle od the operate my appendix exploted and wasnt cleaned how to should givin me for cured and two weaks late another doctor found me waste inside me what could poison my blood, finally having to pass another two week in the hospital.
How I show I lived different experience in the publich health system in Chile where almost all was negative thing what Chile really need to improve and make minor the diference between the public and private health.
Hello Manuel, I'm sorry for what you have had to live in the public health system, I think that waiting lists often aggravate people's illness, certainly this aspect needs to be improved.
