National Health Board (JUNASA)
The National Health Board (JUNASA) was created by law 18.211 in 2007 and has as central tasks the administration of National Health Insurance and the observance of the principles and objectives of the Integrated National Health System (SNIS). The Board is made up of members from different ministries and from representatives of service providers, workers and users. Initially the members were appointed by the Executive Power, but it is in discussion to establish a voting mechanism to elect the social representatives. The main tool of the JUNASA is to sign management contracts with the health service providers that are obligatory to be part of the National Health Insurance, as well as to collaborate towards the transparency of the system.
