Health insurance is essential. Emergency services can be dialled free (tel: (2) 131 for an ambulance), but for medical emergencies, private services may deliver more modern equipment and a faster response. Clínicas (private hospitals) can be contacted directly in the case of a medical emergency.
Food and drink:
Standards of hygiene are generally reasonable in Chile, and should not cause visitors any undue concern.
Other risks:

Vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis B are sometimes recommended. When travelling to rural parts of Chile, care should be taken to avoid the Hanta virus, a potentially fatal condition that is spread by rodents. In particular, make sure rustic cabins are well aired out and free from any sign of rodents.
