The organization and mobilization of popular classes had a significant impact on the improvement of living and working conditions in overcrowded cities in Chile. In addition to the creation of the National Health System in 1952 and its later institutional development until 1973, the active participation of disadvantaged and marginalized communities, also known as pobladores, had mobilized social action to address local health problems in poor urban settlements. Community participation in health in Chile saw its peak with the arrival of the Unidad Popular Government in 1970. This ended abruptly in September 1973 due to a military coup that lasted for 17 years.
