health

 

(First of all, I want to clarify that it is a personal point of view).

It is difficult to talk about this issue since it has many points of view, on the one hand it is seen what private health is and on the other hand public health, showing, (again) the level of classism that exists in Chile, then, Talk Health in general becomes complicated, since they are two totally different realities.

Starting with public health, where many times there is not the amount of medical material that staff need and they are forced to practically improvise. While on the other hand there is the private health system, where these problems almost do not occur and this is an issue that I can talk about from the knowledge since I have seen how doctors in public systems have had to work with what they have. While on the other hand I have also been taking care of myself "privately" and it is something totally different, starting with the amount of elements that each professional has for their area.

This is something that has been seen for a long time in the country, so we know that it is not something that can be changed so quickly, health like many other things will continue to be private to be of "quality"; Which is unfair since having a chance to be treated in private doesn't mean it has to be better. everyone, as human beings, should have the same opportunities, no matter what.

I hope that this can change faster than we expect because it is necessary in all circumstances, in all diseases and in all social classes.

I hope that my words do not offend anyone and I want to emphasize that medical-health personnel have always been the most sacrificed in the face of these inequalities, even before the pandemic began.
