The possible ways to promote prevention in the Chilean health system

The possible ways to promote prevention in the Chilean health system

1. Why you think education and prevention are important, why not?

Because go to a health professional is expensive for the majority. It is pretty common to go to the health professional, “when you can’t stand the pain”. So if prevention is free and accessible specially for those who doesn’t have much education, people will be more interesting and there is a chance to that people do what the prevention recommends, if this is well done. Because the audience will understand that they may to do, what the speaker told, at least because they will save money and they even could save they own life (a lot of people go to the doctor, when it is too late).-

2. What can be done to promote education and prevention in health care.

In the discussion of today about reproduction, we talk about a very nice idea, Guillermo talks about a Party of Pregnancy, between teenagers and adults people, so I tough that could be with single mothers, specially teens so they could tell their own experience to the teenagers and could be easy to understand. Also in the party will be a health professional talking about a real childbirth (with some pictures to scare xD), and at the end of the “party” we will give eggs to the teens couples (like in the movies of USA), and we will challenge them to take care the eggs as a newborn baby. With the last activity the idea, is that the teens will realize about the responsibility to have sexual relationships.

I really think that promote education and prevention, must be focus especially in high school, because they are growing and they still live with their “parents” so the information could reach a lot of people!

3. How can you help people to improve their health, what activities do you think you can do?

I really love to talk!, so I can talk, talk, talk and keep talking about health to everyone, so I can give talk to people and maybe made a website, and of course give free attention to people than can not pay, because everything is a service and serve for me is always free, in other case is call work :D.-
