Journey to Chile
Chile is a South American country occupying a long, narrow strip of land between the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It borders Peru to the north, Bolivia to the northeast, Argentina to the east, and the Drake Passage in the far south. Chilean territory includes the Pacific islands of Juan Fernández, Salas y Gómez, Desventuradas, and Easter Island in Oceania. Chile also claims about 1,250,000 square kilometres (480,000 sq mi) of Antarctica, although all claims are suspended under the Antarctic Treaty. Atacama Desert in Chile is very lucrative and houses copper, gold and silver mines.
Today, Chile is one of the most stable and secure countries in Latin America, given its sustained growth and development in terms of human development, trade and economic competitiveness, economic freedom, and per capita income growth. Chile is a member of the United Nations, the Union of South American Nations and the Union of Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Even though there are 17 million people in Chile, there is no medical equipment factory in this country. The country has 1170 active treatment centers with 200 hospitals, 60 specialized centers and a specialist in the 115 primary care clinics of 400 urban and rural hospitals and 40 mental and health centers.
Considering the Iranian production of medical equipment and the readiness of the Chilean market, exportation to this country is possible and can be studied.
