“…At that time, health care was, to a large extent, financed through the payroll tax. The reform initially meant that 11 per cent of the beneficiaries transferred to the new ISAPRES system with 48 per cent of the revenue from health contributions (Titelman 2001).…”

Since the 1970s, Chile has exhibited a highly skewed income distribution accompanied with strong fluctuations over time. Although income distribution worsened notably in the 1970s-80s, a significant improvement was recorded in the first half of the 1990s, resulting from better economic and social policies in the return to democracy. Nonetheless, Chile still faces significant challenges to improve development. There must be an active macroeconomic policy focused on the real economy. Chile also needs profound microeconomic reforms, including (i) capital markets, developing long-term financing channels for small businesses; (ii) radical progress in quality of education and labour training; and (iii) vigorous public support for innovation.

“…In its private counterpart, the Instituciones de Salud Previsional (ISAPRES) (health insurance institutions) were created. These are institutions in charge of offering or acting as agents to finance health-care services [41]. FONASA is used by 78.3% of the Chilean population and includes the sectors of lower income and homeless people, whereas ISAPRES attend to 14.2% of the population and its contributing members are among those with higher socio-economic levels [42].…”

Gastric cancer is a neoplasm with a high incidence and mortality rate in Chile where more than 3000 people die every year from this type of cancer. This study shows the clinical and epidemiological considerations of this disease, information about translational research on this pathology in Chile, the contribution of Chilean doctors to the development of gastric cancer management awareness and the general situation of gastric cancer in Chile.

“…The ISAPREs absorb two thirds of payroll contributions and service one fifth of the population. In 1997, the average ISAPRE's spending per beneficiary was almost four times that of FONASA affiliates (Titelman, 1999).…”

“…Fiscal transfers to the public health care sector increased in line with these priorities, from 0.7 per cent of GDP in 1989 to 1.3 per cent in 1996 (MIDEPLAN, 1996). The overall budget of the public health care sector doubled in real terms between 1990 and 1997 (Titelman, 1999). Figure 2 below shows trends in public and private, and ISAPREs, health expenditures.…”

Health policy in Chile has mirrored the main changes in economic policy in recent times. The 1950s and 1960s witnessed centralisation of public health care into a National Health Service. Neoliberal policies in the 1970s and 1980s refocused health policy onto extending the scope for private insurance and provision in health care. The return to democracy in 1990 has produced a reappraisal of health policy, with the emphasis on strengthening and improving public health insurance and care. This paper examines the extent to which recent changes in health policy signal a reappraisal of the private-public mix in the provision of basic services, and argues that a model for health care and financing built around a strong, modern, and efficient, public health care sector is more likely to succeed in addressing the health needs of the population in Chile and Latin America.
