An ambivalent service

    Sometimes when I think about health within my country, it's hard for me to see the big outlook. I mean, since I was a child until today, I have had no complaints regarding the Chilean medical service. Not to mention that, according to the Inter-American Development Bank, Chile is the Latin American country with the highest efficiency in terms of health. With all the above, do I consider that the health here is the best? 
    Obviously not. The reality is that this system has numerous shortcomings, inequity, the typical problems related to prices and values, the numerous cases of coronavirus, among others. This does not mean that in each medical center -private or public-, these conflicts occur with the same frequency, but they continue to be valid within our society. It is a "round trip" of healthy problems that affect people but, consequently, we conform and adapt to cope with them. 
    With all the above mentioned, my conclusion is that I consider the service of my country as a shaky one. On the one hand, healthcare in hospitals, health posts and medical centers is an outstanding aspect. On the other hand, the imbalance, the rise in prices or the cases of Covid-19 in decline and constant increase, leave me with an ambivalent impression of the capacity that our country has for the health of the population.

    Hello Alejo! I read your blog and I agree with your opinion about our health system, because on one hand we see a system that during the pandemic has did a good job, but it has not been something constant, and at the same time it is still an unequal and quite precarious system in the public area. So, how can we say that the health system is really efficient if it is not really effective in every way? In conclusion, it is a system that is difficult to analyze or criticize in a concrete way.

    Hello! I am struck by the statistic that you have given regarding Chile being the most efficient Latin American country in health, because this data shows us that the problem is not only national, but that this is a continental problem.

    Hello! I find it interesting what you shared. If Chile’s health system is the best in Latin America, I don’t want to imagine how bad it must be in the rest of the continent. I find it regrettable.

    Hello, I very much agree with you, I see how there are terrible inequalities in the system, values ​​that do not coincide with the quality of the service that is delivered and, adding, the lack of good treatment that staff medic have with patients is terrible.

BLOG 4 “Time travel to the past or future”

Imagen
            Hi everyone.        Today I am going to tell you something important, which has to do with time travel. If I had to choose which moment in history I would travel to, it would be to my hometown, around the beginning of the new century (2000) I wouldn’t travel to the future because, as its name suggests, it’s a completely uncertain moment in history and it wouldn’t be convenient for me to venture in an unknown world. I also wouldn't travel too far back in time because, obviously, the last century was a much more dangerous time than today. I feel like I couldn't handle myself there. So, in my case, I will travel to a past closer to my present.        I’m curious to see again what the streets of my region were like more than two decades ago. Personally, I would like to see my grandparents or great-grandparents again (because some of them have already died). I haven’t intention of s...

I want to go to Spain

Imagen
Hello. Today I have to tell you something. This is an important long-term goal that I have for my career as a filmmaker. Once I graduate from ICEI, I will apply to do a Masters in animation, before officially dedicating myself to the profession of animator/screenwriter. And for that I have in mind to enter the ECIB (Barcelona Film School) Yes, I really want to travel and get to know Spain. Apart from the issue of the language barrier -which obviously would not be as great as, for example, if I traveled to the US-, my problems are mainly two: In the first place, the enormous geographical distances (in the sense that, probably, I will be forced to reside only in Spain during the 18 months that the Master lasts, without being able to see my family). Secondly, in my almost null knowledge of Barcelona itself, apart from certain vague news that I find out on the internet, the weather or the rise of Spanish cinema during the last decade (I say this last from a personal point of view, obviousl...

The New Year

Imagen
                  Hi everyone.        Well, today I'm going to talk to you about what, in my opinion, is the best party that exists: The New Year.       My family and I celebrate this day at my grandmother's house. I personally consider it "better" than the others because it is the simplest of all. By this I mean that I prefer to sit and talk with the family while we eat something "fancy" and wait for the clock to strike "zero". What I enjoy most is being with my family, eating, talking about any subject, laughing and having an ice cream until we go from one year to another. I don't know, I'm someone simple in certain things. Especially in celebrations.        That is why it saddens me that traffic accidents and deaths increase considerably during this holiday. This is sad, because somehow, people go crazy and behave irresponsibly in front of car handlebars more ...
