dc.description.abstractOn April 1st, 2014, the 8.2 Mw Pisagua earthquake affected the population in the north of Chile and generated disruption of services in the region. The largest effects of the earthquake were observed in the city of Iquique, capital of the Tarapaca Region, where more than 80% of the population of the region lives. This research describes the response of the public healthcare network of Iquique after the earthquake, and aims to identify the principal factors contributing to the network resilience during the early response and recovery phase after the earthquake. Despite the large magnitude of the earthquake, the observed structural damage was minor in the five healthcare centers considered (i.e., the regional hospital and 4 Primary Healthcare Attention Centers, PHACs). However, disruption of services in the healthcare network was large and due mainly to the collapse of non-structural components. Overall, the proper response of the healthcare network of Iquique was heavily supported by the PHACs, which largely provided first-aid, containment, and low-complexity attention to the population, allowing the hospital to focus on more complex procedures. The findings of this study suggest that the resilience of the healthcare network system, besides the robustness of the network’s facilities and their critical units, is also highly dependent on the interrelations and interactions between them in early post-earthquake recovery phases.
