[The creation of 2 hospitals in Santiago thanks to a public collection: the Salvador and San Vicente de Paul Hospitals].
Shortage of hospital beds was critical in Santiago around 1871. Infant mortality and smallpox were serious problems. A public collection of funds was allowed by the Government to help solve the problem. Returns were so generous that 2 hospitals, Salvador and San Vicente de Paul, were built with the funds.
