Mental Disability Inclusion, Chile – It’s a pending debt.
Chile doesn’t yet have an effective national disability policy.
According to ENDIDE – Chile 2022, the National Disability and Dependency Survey, an estimated 2.7 million adults have these conditions, nearly 18% of the nationwide adult population. This survey reflects that older adults, women, and low-income households are more affected. Children and youths with the same conditions represent nearly 15%.
Chile spends 2.2% on mental health, while WHO recommends at least 5%. In addition, OECD countries spend 9% to 11%. So, Chile is far from adequately protecting this vulnerable segment’s rights.
In 2023, 1,735 users were welcomed in 42 Hogar de Cristo’s mental disability network programs. Be part of our journey by donating to this cause.
