What do you think of the health service in our country? 








The health service in Chile, in my opinion, has multiple deficiencies. These deficiencies are multiple and have been around for many years, but they have been exacerbated by the pandemic that we are currently experiencing as a society. 

In my opinion, the greatest deficiency in the health service is the great difference in quality that the public health system has compared to the private system. It is a national reality, that a public hospital is almost always full of people and with hardly any supplies to be able to supply all the demand it has for patients. in addition to this, there are multiple diseases that the public health service does not take into consideration, so these people have to pay for their own treatment. treatments that are often extremely expensive. While on the other hand, those who live in Chile and have money, can opt for better conditions when it comes to receiving care. 

This reflects how health is considered in Chile. Unfortunately it is considered a consumer product, an income generating product, not a basic human right. It is because of this and other deficiencies in the national health service that many people have died in the pandemic, although those who work in hospitals and clinics are doing the best they can, the state does not collaborate with them and we have this result is a poor health system that cannot meet national demand.

    Hi Vincente. I totally agree that in Chile health suffers from a giant inequity and this, like other governments, have not been able to improve this situation for millions of citizens.

    Hello Vicente, I think that the differences between public and private service that you are talking about is one of the many injustices that a country as deeply unequal as Chile has

Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious?

  Hello reader! and welcome back. In my opinion, this question is important, because it is something that has always affected our country. Chile, according to various studies, which include UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) studies, is considered one of the most unequal countries in all of Latin America and even the world, and this is largely due to the profound difference in quality that exists in national education.  In my opinion, there are certain elite schools that have world standards of education, schools that cost a lot of money and are only in the richest places in the country. These schools offer a comprehensive education that prepares you for the world of work and to face future problems. Although they are prestigious, the level of education they deliver is superior in comparison to municipal schools in poorer parts of our country. This creates a large cultural gap between those who studied in elite schools and those who studied in...

Religion

Good morning reader. In this blog I will talk about religion, a subject that doesn't interest me much in truth. I was born into a Roman Catholic Apostolic family, the "official" religion of Chile. When I was a child, like the teacher, I went to a Catholic school called San Lazaro de Lasalle, a concretion of French priests. And being honest, the only thing I learned was to read very well, and not because of the religion, but because of the school itself. I have always doubted the existence of the Catholic God, it seemed so strange to me that we in America venerate a god who walked through the Middle East, until I began to learn history and religion interested me again. and this why?  Because history taught me that each culture had its own religion and that Catholicism and Abrahamic religions were taught all over the world, by the great migrations and later by the Roman Empire.  It was here that I realized that many religions had patterns in common, a god who...

Is voting an important responsibility of a citizen?

 Is voting an important responsibility of a citizen? Good afternoon to everyone who reads this English Blog. In my opinion, the quality of citizen is quite important in today's society, since being a citizen of a country gives you different rights that the state has the obligation to fulfill. Such as the right to housing, to a quality education, to security and social well-being. Fundamental rights to develop fully.  But not only do citizens have rights, they also have duties. And one of them is Vote.  It is important since Chilean politics has changed a bit lately, but it is not the only way to do politics, it is only the official way. We can do politics day by day in our lives, each act can be political if a horizon of solidarity is sought for our society. And in Chile, it depends on each person if they vote or not, but I consider that it is important, but not the only way to demonstrate our citizens status.  Thank you very much for reading this...
