Health outcomes, utilization, and equity in Chile: an evolution from 1990 to 2015 and the effects of the last health reform

摘要

Objective: Chile is an attractive case study because of the deep political changes that it underwent over a short period of time: from a universal health service (60s), through a neoliberal reform (70s) and onto a series of legislative reforms (80s-90s). This article aims to explore and assess the evolution of health outcomes, equity, and utilization in Chile through the last period of these reforms (1990-2015).
