Abstract
This article evaluates the first fifteen months of the Sebastian Piñera government and the degree to which it has fulfilled its program in the health sector. Progress in five priority areas is analyzed. The principal argument is that the Ministry of Health’s strategy of announcing substantial changes has been unsatisfactory, as the lack of political backing has impeded following up these declarations with
concrete policies.
