\u00bfC\u00f3mo explicar que, en pleno siglo XXI, existan personas que a\u00fan no tengan d\u00f3nde comprar un remedio? En Visviri sus 684 habitantes viajan m\u00e1s de 200 km. En Villa O’Higgins, los 612 vecinos dependen de Cochrane, a 220 km de distancia. Estos son algunos ejemplos que muestran que el problema no es solo geogr\u00e1fico: es regulatori<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La normativa fue dise\u00f1ada para el modelo tradicional de farmacia y termina excluyendo a las zonas de baja densidad. No es que el mercado haya fallado; simplemente, no se le ha permitido entrar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algunos proponen obligar a las cadenas a instalarse donde hoy no operan. Es una mala soluci\u00f3n. Una farmacia sostenida por mandato y no por demanda, dif\u00edcilmente ser\u00e1 sostenible y termina trasladando sus costos a los usuarios o al Estado. Adem\u00e1s, evita discutir el verdadero problema: las barreras regulatorias que impiden operar en esos lugares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Es hora de liberar, no de administrar: permitir que los medicamentos de uso frecuente se vendan tambi\u00e9n en supermercados y fortalecer la venta online con receta electr\u00f3nica, hoy ya contemplada en la normativa chilena. Dejemos que la competencia acerque los medicamentos a quienes m\u00e1s los necesitan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porque la libertad de elegir d\u00f3nde comprar un remedio solo existe cuando, antes que nada, hay un lugar donde comprarlo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
