Public service and healthcare accessibility in Chile are expanding through new infrastructure and digital initiatives. In the Maule Region, the inauguration of a ChileAtiende virtual service center in San Rafael has increased the network of state service points, while a new Therapeutic and Neurodivergence Center in Talca was opened to provide multidisciplinary care for children and adolescents.

Medical advancements have further improved regional access. The Mi Visión Ophthalmological Center in Maule successfully performed the region’s first cornea transplant, utilizing outpatient procedures to allow for home recovery. Additionally, in the Aysén Region, a telemedicine program has facilitated thousands of consultations by providing technological equipment to rural health posts and community hospitals, aiming to reduce waiting times for remote populations.
