Major earthquake disaster causes disruption in the functioning of a society and may lead to significant infrastructure losses. Healthcare infrastructure is very critical to handle earthquake emergency. Hospitals are essential facilities required to remain operational and maintain communication with other agencies and hospitals. The interdependencies between trauma centers, general hospitals, emergency care, and medical supply warehouses are very critical in case of emergency. On Saturday, February 27, 2010, Chile was struck by a major earthquake (Mw 8.8) that affected 13 million people, approximately 80% of the population. Some studies evaluated the Chilean healthcare system efficiency following the 2010 earthquake; however, little research attention was paid to evaluate the resilience/recovery of healthcare services a few years following the 2010 earthquake. This paper investigates the current level of resilience/recovery of a segment of the Chilean healthcare system and the challenges to recovery and rebuilding processes seven years following the 2010 earthquake. To this end, field hospital resilience assessment was performed along with community healthcare system public confidence field surveys in several Chilean cities such as Santiago, Vina del Mar, Santa Cruz, Lolol and Talca. The mitigation measures following the 2010 earthquake were observed and documented and their efficiency tested for Iquique 2014 and Illapel 2015 earthquakes was evaluated.
