The Popular Health Network of Valparaiso is a network of health care services that provide an alternative for the community to address health needs that are not covered by the public health care system. Today it includes pharmacy services, a health center with medical specialties, as well as non-medical services such as those that offer the well-being of complementary therapies.
This makes it an interesting and inspiring example of a combination of self-empowerment, organizing, co-determination, infrastructure, and government programmes that support and finance projects.
