Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
The development objectives of the Public Health Sector Support Project for Chile are to: (i) improve the efficiency of the public health care sector; and (ii) improve the quality of non-communicable diseases-related health care services. The project comprises of three components. The first component will improve the efficiency of public health service delivery networks with a focus on its better integration. It consists of following sub-components: (i) improving the integration of public health care services for patients with non-communicable diseases and chronic conditions; and (ii) improving managerial capacity at the public hospital level. The second component, optimizing the procurement and logistics of drugs and medical supplies in the public sector will support strategic objective 7, strengthening the health sector, (specifically its financing) of the national health strategy. The third component, technical assistance (TA), coordination and monitoring will provide TA activities to generate missing information needed to risk-stratify patients insured by National Public Health Insurance Fund (FONASA), develop management tools, and provide training to health managers and staff that are key to support the implementation of components 1 and 2.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF WORLD BANK The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. You can learn more about the Inspection Panel and how to file a complaint at: http://ewebapps.worldbank.org/apps/ip/Pages/Home.aspx.
