Hospitals in Santiago (Chile)

Santa Maria Clinic (Santiago)

One of the oldest private medical institutions in Chile, located in the Providencia area of Santiago. Until the early 20th century, medical care in Chile was provided only in public hospitals. The first private hospital was opened in 1939, based on the experience and example of clinics such as the Mayo Clinic in the USA, the Gasquet Clinic in Paris, and the Scherzer Clinic in Berlin. The Santa Maria Clinic in Chile was recognized as successful, and demand for its services grew exponentially. In 1954, the hospital was significantly expanded with several new buildings. Subsequent stages of modernization and expansion occurred in 1966 (when a modern cardio-surgical department was opened), 1988, and 2001, when a complex of buildings was opened, doubling the capacity of the Santa Maria Clinic network. The modern period of the hospital's history is marked by the opening of new buildings covering 85,000 m² in 2009 and the launch of comprehensive medical services to meet all patient needs. Since 2009, the hospital's emergency service has been enhanced with a helicopter squad, including a helipad in the new building, a purchased helicopter, and a team of on-duty pilots.

Several floors have been allocated for the perinatal department in the hospital. Childbirth at the Santa Maria Hospital in Chile is an excellent choice with very reasonable pricing. All doctors at the hospital have extensive experience and are recognized specialists in obstetrics and gynecology. Almost all speak English well. After the birth, the wards are equipped with everything necessary and are as comfortable as a room in a good three-star hotel.

Las Condes Clinic (Santiago)

The top and most prestigious complex of CLC medical centers offers a premium level of medical care. The history of the private medical institution Clínica Las Condes began in 1978, when doctors Mauricio Weiner Norman and Alejandro Larach Nazral gathered a group of colleagues to develop a project for a completely new clinical center. In June 1979, the Las Condes Clinic was founded. Construction began in 1981 under the project of a company specializing in medical centers from the United States.

After receiving accreditation from the Joint Commission International in 2022, CLC began to receive significant attention from employees of international corporations and diplomatic missions based in Santiago.

Childbirth at the Las Condes Clinic is an expensive but very comfortable experience for the patient. The hospital's primary approach is to minimize painful sensations during childbirth. The highly qualified hospital staff, including doctors, assistants, and anesthesiologists, excel at providing exceptional care, and patients often report a positive experience, noting that their childbirth was as smooth as possible. The wards at Clínica Las Condes can be compared to 5-star hotel rooms. Like other premium medical centers, the patient is surrounded by comfort and tranquility, making the experience feel far removed from a typical "hospital" environment. According to CLC's very concept, 50% of the staff and 100% of the doctors speak English at least at an intermediate level. The spouse's stay during childbirth is allowed, and children and other visitors can come to the patient without any restrictions.
