Healthcare in Chile

El niño enfermo, The sick child, painted by the Chilean painter Pedro Lira.

The healthcare system in Chile operates as a mixed system, combining both public and private provision of health services. The public system, known as Fondo Nacional de Salud (FONASA), is funded through taxes and provides free or subsidized care to those who cannot afford private health insurance. The private system consists of various insurance providers, called Instituciones de Salud Previsional (ISAPREs), and private healthcare facilities, which offer more extensive services to those who can afford to pay.
