"From older persons we heard of being forced to decrease their insurance coverage and move from private to public systems upon retirement, and from deaf women how the lack of sign language interpreters in public institutions creates barriers," @drtlaleng.bsky.social on Chile's health care system.

Lasting impact of the Chilean dictatorship and the 2019 unrest: "My discussions with young people who suffered eye injuries [trauma from state violence in 2019] illustrated more was needed to provide integral reparations to them, including critical psychosocial support."

On mental health care in Chile: "There is an urgent need for increase in the availability and quality of psycho-social mental health practitioners, specialists and community-based psychiatry for screening, early diagnosis, treatment and follow up to care." @drtlaleng.bsky.social

During her hospital visits in Chile, UN Special Rapporteur Tlaleng Mofokeng "heard from healthcare workers and administrators who reported overwhelming workloads, unsustainable stress levels, and exposure to violence, including from patients due to frustration with waiting times."
