Health Care
Getting access to quality medical care in Chile is possible in the larger cities such as Valparaiso and Santiago. Travellers are advised to take out comprehensive health insurance before travelling. Emergency services can be dialled free - call (2) 131 for an ambulance), but for medical emergencies, private services may deliver more modern equipment and a faster response. Clínicas (private hospitals) can be contacted directly in the case of a medical emergency. If bringing medication, then make sure to have a signed note from the doctor stating medical conditions.
