La ministra de Salud, May Chomali, expresó preocupación por una indicación de la Subsecretaría del Interior que obliga a entregar datos de pacientes migrantes en centros de salud. El gobierno aclaró que la medida respeta los derechos de los pacientes y busca facilitar procedimientos migratorios específicos.

La ministra May Chomali declaró el viernes que el Ministerio de Salud no puede entregar información personal de pacientes, ya que está protegida por el Código Sanitario y la Ley de Deberes y Derechos de los Pacientes. “Eso lo vamos a defender absolutamente”, afirmó en una entrevista radial.

El subsecretario del Interior, Máximo Pavez, y el ministro Claudio Alvarado explicaron que la indicación solo permite solicitar datos cuando existe un procedimiento migratorio en curso para expulsión o sanción. Subrayaron que no implica reportes automáticos ni vulnera la privacidad de los pacientes.

El Presidente José Antonio Kast respaldó la propuesta desde Atacama y sugirió instalar presencia policial en los servicios de salud para identificar a las personas. Afirmó que se debe mantener la atención médica de urgencia mientras se avanza en el orden migratorio del país.

Figuras de derecha, como Marcela Cubillos y el diputado Agustín Romero, criticaron la postura de Chomali por desmarcarse del gobierno. El episodio se suma a otras tensiones internas en el gabinete sobre temas de migración.
