In this respect, great strides have been made with nuclear medicine. In addition, the Chilean government has passed the Cancer Law (Ley del Cáncer), which will come into effect in October 2022 and whose goal is “establish a regulatory framework for the planning, development and implementation of public policies, programs and actions aimed at establishing the causes and preventing the increase in the incidence of cancer.” This law has two interesting features: i) promoting cooperation between the private and public sectors, between institutions and also between industry sectors; ii) the responsibility of Chile’s Health Ministry to create a National Cancer Plan that with a span of at least 5 years. The portals of Mercado Público or Public Market already have open tenders for devices for this type of treatment, especially for breast cancer.
