Education and prevention in health care

Talk about the health system in Chile is difficult because, Chilean society is where the people is classified according stratum, you earn a lot of money so you can have a better health protection, a better health care in the other hand, people without money are vulnerable, if they have a chronic disease, they won´t have the same possibility than the rich ones to heal.
There a problem in the system, so as a health professional, maybe we can´t make news laws or something like that, maybe we can, but the little details make the difference, we can promote the prevention. I have to admit that some people are not interested in health topics; they think that they can have bad habits like drink alcohol or smoke and won´t have a disease, in this people is very difficult educate them, but some people watch on TV an ad of the Ministerio de Salud and they think about the ad and change tha bad habits. I think that an ad on TV or Radio, a poster in a bus o the subway can help. But, in my opinion, the better way to educate a population is talking with the person, face to face, explain the details, the person should want make questions, and in this way we can teach people to care them self and have a better prevention of disease. We can talk about the nutrition, bad habits, the benefit of do exercises, etc. And make that they change bad habits.

  1. I read your post, And I agree with the last part of it. Also, I think you should care a litlle bit more about your tiping, many words are uncomplete...
    Some of your sentences may need a few conectors like "If, that, These, such, therefore, etc.".
    For example: "IF you earn a lot of money, you can have a better health protection; In the other hand, people without money are more vulnerable. This means that in front of the same disease, a richer person has higher posibilities of healing than a poorer one".
    Other problem I found is that you confuse plural and singular (there is - there are), which leads you to bad writen sentences.
    Other sentences would express better your opinion if you change some of the prepositions and use the right superlatives. Example: "the BEST way to educate the population is talking to a person face to face, explain the details,..."
    I won´t bother you any longer, hope you can use this piece of advice.
