ABSTRACT

Las migraciones constituyen un fenómeno creciente en América Latina, influido por factores económicos, laborales, búsqueda de bienestar social, educación y salud, entre otros. Chile presenta una tasa neta de migración positiva, y en el último tiempo ha destacado el gran número de inmigrantes haitianos que han llegado a nuestro país, especialmente luego del terremoto que le afectó el 2010. Provenientes de una cultura diferente, donde el estilo de crianza y las características de atención en salud, entre otros aspectos, difieren a la de nuestro país, conocer la cultura haitiana y su situación de salud es relevante para una mejor apreciación de sus necesidades y enfrentar de mejor forma la programación de la atención sanitaria de esta población que busca en Chile un lugar de acogida y mayor bienestar. Para profundizar los esfuerzos de integración en trabajo, salud, educación y en la comunidad parece aconsejable actualizar la legislación referente a migraciones, tal que permita abordar los problemas actuales a través de una ley migratoria que data de 1975.

Haitian people come to Chile looking for a cordial reception and willing to find a place with better perspectives of wellbeing in every sense. Immigration represents a major challenge for Chilean health system that must be embraced. Integration efforts in jobs, health, education system and community living should be enhanced to ensure a prosper settlement in our country.
