What do you think of the health service in our country?
The healt service in my country is characterized mainly for was a private service, this means that the quality of service, or the effectiveness of the procedures depends of how much you can spend on health services. In this sense, the people who cant' spend a lot of money in health service because they are poors, like a most chilean people, they must wait for attention on the public health wich is slow, is bad, lacks resources and personnel, lacks infraestrucre and also is collapsed. This situation, generate a big segregation and exclusion between the people who can spend money in the private service healt and the people who cant spend that money and they must conform with the poor public service healt. Besides, also exist another problem, i meant at the problem with the people who suffer unrecognized diseases ,most of wich are very expensive and these people not received none help of the government.
In my personal situation, my mother suffer a disease called Lupus, autoimmune disease, wich was not recognized in Chile until 2015, when this disease became a part of the fonasa plan. Nevertheless , before this , my family spend a lot of money on remedies, exams and another things related with that disease. Now, my mother can attend for free his disease in the public service healt. However, many people and many familys suffer with this situacion because the disease of his familiares is not recognized for the fonasa plan, bringing much suffering and anguish bot the family and for the sick persons. This situation occurs because the government doest not sure a quality and free health public, left all the people who cant spend a lot money in his own healt adrift
I totally agree with you that in Chile there is great segregation in the health system.Also, is hard to imagine the psychological damages that a person with some rare illness would suffer if he/she can't treat it for the low capacities of the health system in our country. Iillnesses don't give you only physical scars, also a very deep psychological wounds that are difficult to treat.
ResponderEliminarI hope your mother is doing well!
I totally agree with you, these are problems that need a solution right now! I don't understand because these measures are unfinished ...
ResponderEliminarIt is exausting to think that one day I or any relative can have a disease and die, not because of the illness, but for the money. It feels very unfair and it is! Health is a right and is so inhuman to be scare for it.
