How can anthropology help to the politics about public health in Chile?

Background:

Chile is a country that since its creation has been characterized by an important number of social inequalities. This problem increases when we talk about public health for the ordinary citizen. Unfortunately, throughout history the general and institutional thought of considering medicine and health as a consumer product has existed, in contrast with the ideal of health as a social right for all people. As a result of this thought, only a very reduced part of population in Chile can have a good attention in this area, meanwhile the majority has to accept a poor and incompetent public health attention with resignation.
