Advisory Council for the Implementation of the Integrated National Health System (SNIS)
The Advisory Council for the Implementation of the Integrated National Health System (SNIS) was installed within the framework of the reform of the health system of Frente Amplio, to include civil society and health sector stakeholders in the reform process, with the objective of receiving advice on all issues proposed by the Ministry of Health or one of its members. Different Advisory Boards were formed from the Advisory Council. The Council was also central to the installation of the other instruments of participation that were created within the reform. Thus, in 2010, the legislature reconvened the Council to evaluate what had been achieved up to that point and to define new lines of action, especially in the area of citizen participation. The Council is comprised of a delegate from the Ministry of Health, who chairs it, together with other delegates from different political bodies, representatives of doctors, general health workers and also representatives of health service users.
