Health and social care companies in Chile

Chile's RES (datos.gob.cl) + SII nómina lists 73,783 companies in human health and social work activities (ISIC section Q), 73,003 of them active, which is 2.2% of all Chilean records in the LatSouth build (data as of 2026-08-03). By region, Metropolitana de Santiago leads with 36,904 (50% of the section), followed by Valparaíso (6,841) and Biobío (6,257). The largest divisions are 86 (human health activities, 71,307) and 87 (residential care activities, 1,910); one further division completes it.

Hospitals, clinics, laboratories, dental and medical practices, care homes and social-assistance organisations. In Brazil and Colombia a large share of division 86 is physicians incorporated as single-practitioner companies; filter by size or legal form to separate institutions from practices. Healthtech, medical supply, health-plan and revenue-cycle vendors are the buyers. In Chile, 100% of these rows carry an ISIC class; size is known for 58%; the registry publishes no website or e-mail; 7,321 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. An economic activity is registered for about half of Chilean RUTs, so this section undercounts companies that never registered one with the SII.
