“Maternal and child mortality is one of

the demographic facts that can be
influenced in a more or less serious way
since it depends a great deal on the care
that the mother and child receive before,
during and after birth.”

Dr. Salvador Allende, Minister of Health (1940)

Until 1920, the health situation in Chile qualified
as a “savage state”: the highest child
mortality in the world.

1952: Life expectancy at birth - 54.9 years –
among the lowest at the global level, reflecting
the poor living conditions in the country.

MATERNAL-CHILD CARE
• 1901 National Children’s Board
• 1924 Workers’ Insurance Law
• 1942 Health Units (district-level)
• 1952 National Health Service
• 1980 National Health Service System:
Ministry – Social Security – Regional
Ministerial Secretary (Seremi)
(decentralization)
• 2000 Sector reform (ongoing)


Slide 10

NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE (1952–1979)
August 1952 Law 10.383: creates the SSS and
the National Health Service (SNS): “political will”
for the search for social balance and institutional justice
– new social pact - will allow the working and
proletariat classes to be integrated into the system.
Wide national agreement; support of the University (School
of Public Health) and the Medical Association.

Social Medicine: incorporates the fundamental
principle of the WHO, created in 1948: health as “a right

and obligation of every human being and of countries as
a group.”


Slide 11

NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE (1952–1979)
Chile was the second country at the
global level (4 years after England); it
integrated 6 institutions that addressed
different areas of social security and health
management.
Objectives:
- reduction
mortality,

of

maternal

and

child

- control of infectious diseases,
- eradication of malnutrition and,
- coordination with other social sectors that
have links to health determinants.

Foundation for a Family Planning Policy

“The Government of Chile recognizes the benefit

that the population achieves through Family
Planning activities, which allow individuals to have
the number of children with the desired spacing and
timing. For this reason, it maintains its support for
Family Planning activities in order to promote the
achievement of adequate comprehensive
reproductive health.”

problem.
• Recognize that every pregnancy has some level of risk.

• Assure that skilled personnel attend births.
• Promote maternal health as a vital economic and social
investment :

 Postpone motherhood.
 Prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Unwanted Pregnancies

Health Objectives and Goals for Unwanted Pregnancies
Impact Goals:
•Decrease the gap between desired and observed fertility: the gap between desired and
observed fertility should be under 20%

•By age group, maternal educational level, socio-economic level, experience with use
of contraceptive methods (methods used, duration of use)
•Reduce pregnancies in adolescents: see Chapter 2 on Risk Factors, Sexual Behavior
•Reduce abortion-related maternal mortality by 50% (over the level in 2000)

•Counseling on Sexual and Reproductive Health for the population at greatest risk
of abortion (detected using predictive instrument)
•Coverage for Fertility Regulation: by five-year age groups
•Audit of complicated abortions by cause at the level of hospitals and/or primary
care establishments

is that we will have achieved the
implementation of a child protection system
aimed at leveling the development
opportunities of Chilean children in the first
eight years of life, independent of social
origin, gender, geography or household
structure.
A task of this magnitude far exceeds the
reach of traditional social policy approaches
and will require a set of programs and
instruments...”

the Reform of Childhood Policies, 30 March 2006.

Identification, learning, health, family environment, living conditions,
income and work.


Slide 45

The logic of the intervention
The following matrices have been developed for
each stage of the boy’s or girl’s life cycle:


Baby from gestation until 3 months.



From 3 months to 3 years.



From 4 to 5 years.



From 6 to 10+ years (4th of basic).

The matrices have a logic of continuity: the boy/girl
enters the System at the gestation stage and the
System accompanies him/her from that moment
throughout the different stages of the life cycle.
