CHILE
• An Independent Nation since 1810
• Close to Bicentenary• Politically
– Republican– Unitarian– Democartic (mostly)
• Socially Progresive and Sensitive
BRIEF SOCIAL HISTORY
• From Independence to late 1890, mainly based on– Agrarian Society with Charitable interventions– But with
• Early Separation of Church and State, • Mandatory Public Education, Charity Hospitals• Few social unrest: disciplined society?
• From 1890 on– Science and State or Public Policy takes the
scene: Rationalism and Social Justice
INSTITUTIONS AND POLICIES
• 1892 Institute of Hygiene• 1893 Board of Vaccinations• 1918 First Code of Public Health• 1924 Social Insurance for Workers:
» Pensions and Widows
» Health
• 1924 Ministry of Health• 1936 Preventive Medicine and MCH Laws• 1952 National Health Service
HEALTH POLICY & HEALTH SYSTEMS
• POLICY: A set of criterias, procedures and resources to intervene in a certain health problem– VG: TB Program: Early Diagnosis and guaranteed
free treatment, MCH:Mothers prenatal care and professional delivery and well baby control
• SYSTEM: a coordinated set of Institutions jointly oriented to health prevention and cure in a given population and territory, with policies and resources, periodically evaluated for improvement and change
MULTIPLE LAYERS IN DEVELOPMENT
BASIC POLICIES 1936-1952
• 1936: Preventive Medicine Law allocated funds and designed strategies to deal with TB, Syphillis and Hypertension
• 1937: Mother and Child Law established a National Council for Nutrition, agreed with the Private Sector to produce and distribute powdered milk to combat malnutition, expand preventive services for reproductive mediceine and child care.
• 1940: A project was sent to Congress for the unification of institutions and policies. It took ten years of debate: Behind the project was an idea of Health System. Integrated, Unified, Egalitarian, Universal
NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE
• 1952 After 10 years of parliamentary debate, the institution came to life.
• Few technocrats beleived in it
• Doctors were against
• Workers were skeptical
• Employers were afraid of more taxes
NHS. SLOW INCREMENTAL DEVELOPMENT
• 1953 to 1960: Search for institutional cohesion, dificult merger of 20 autonomous entities
• Algorythms for interventions were in preparation and population based experiences
• Examples in Child Care: main problems were Malnutrition, Diarrhea, Infectious diseases: the case of Professor Meneghello and his team:
• Academics with Social Sensibility Plus the Public Service Opportunity were crucial

TECHNICAL ISSUES FOR CHILD SURVIVAL(Jamison et als,2004)
CHILD SURVIVAL IS ALWAYS A MATTER OF CONCERN
• In the presence of a renovated effort to curb the unacceptable number of 10 million infant's deaths occurring every year in the world, certain regions and countries face a second stage in the child survival effort. Latin America and especially Chile have done very well and have rates of infant mortality of under 50 per 1000 live births. (Bellagio Child Survival Group, 2003)
CHILD SURVIVAL SECOND PHASE Contribution to Policy from Chile
• This represents a second phase in the effort, with different components and causes of these deaths. Mainly perinatal conditions, including congenital defects, respiratory infections and some residual infections with effective vaccines available
•
CHILD SURVIVAL STILL BENEFITS FROM PUBLIC INTERVENTIONS
• . While keeping its traditional free and universal access public services for the last 50 years, Chile has reached a figure of 8.9 infant deaths per 1000, with a set of interventions that represent an increase in the provision of services related to perinatal risks, acute respiratory diseases, congenital heart conditions and certain vaccine preventable infections.
CONCLUSION: WE CAN DO WELL WITH LESS MONEY
• With an income per capita of US$ 4,500, Chile has a level of child survival that compares with countries with income over US$ 20,000.
DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION
EPIDEMIOLOGIC TRANSITION
2000 A NEW SCENARIO IN HEALTH
• An older population
• Life expectancy closer to 80
• Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
• Need to develop new strategies to cope with the emerging challenges
• Policy and System have to accept and adapt
• And of course: “The economy, stupid”
HEALTH SYSTEM CHILE
• A Basically Public System with Private Sector with different functions
• Insurance:– National Health Fund 80% – Private Insurance Funds 12%– Other or non insured 8%
• Provision:– Public PHC & Hospitals 70%– Private 25%
PUBLIC & PRIVATE GOODS
• Public Goods, Free Universal Access:– Preventive Interventions as Vaccines– Care of Environment– Health Education
• Private Goods, according to Insurance– Medical Care, BUT
• Universal Access with Guarantees for a list of conditions: AUGE

STRUCTURE, PROCESS & OUTCOMES
• Infrastructure: Hospitals, Technology, Human Resources: in permanent change, progress is uneven
• Financing: Private 450 US per capita, Public 250 per capita
• Provision of Services: Private receive more amount than Public but results are similar
• Quality concerns
