ABSTRACT
The “diagnosis of gastroenterological diseases in province setting” does not differ from the diagnosis made in the Metropolitan Region (MR). However, in the MR, there are more complex centers with greater numbers of gastroenterologists. The specialists are more concentrated in the private health sector, leaving the public health sector lacking medical hours, at the MR and province. Digestive pathologies expressed by mortality and hospital discharge rates, vary in the different regions of the country, particularly in the case of gastric cancer, which is more frequent in the less developed areas in the central and southern regions of the country. Regions are well equipped in terms of imaging and laboratory for gastroenterological purposes, in both public and private sectors, however, the private sector has achieved more development in the last years.
RESUMEN
El “diagnóstico de enfermedades gastroenterológicas en provincia” no difiere mayormente con el que se hace en la Región Metropolitana (RM), no obstante existen centros con implementación más compleja y mayor número de especialistas en gastroenterología a nivel central. La distribución de gastroenterólogos es mayor en el área privada de salud, con gran carencia de horas médicas en el sistema público, tanto en la RM como en provincia. Las patologías digestivas expresadas por tasas de mortalidad y egresos hospitalarios difieren en las distintas zonas del país, especialmente el cáncer gástrico, en áreas más pobres, preferentemente zona centro sur del país. Las regiones cuentan con implementación en gastroenterología, imágenes y laboratorio tanto en el sector público, como privado, no obstante este último ha logrado mayor desarrollo en los últimos años.
