Summary: 

The Chilean Ministry of Health’s “Sectoral Health Advisory Team for Immigrants”  developed the Health Policy for International Migrants launched in 2017 which now constitutes the national framework for actions focused on migrant’s healthcare.

The health policy promotes the right to health for all persons in the nation’s territory (including citizens and foreign nationals), a system that is migrant-sensitive, and the lowering of health service access barriers.
