RT Generic T1 Scoping review of the literature on the historical and economic evolution of the health systems of Chile, Uruguay, and Costa Rica A1 Matus-López, Mauricio K1 Health care K1 Health systems K1 History K1 Latin America K1 Chile K1 Uruguay K1 Costa Rica AB As part of the project Historical, Institutional, and Economic Development of Public Health Systems in Middle-Income Countries: New Horizons, Latin America in the 20th and 21st Centuries, we conducted a scoping review on the historical, economic, and institutional evolution of national health systems of Chile, Costa Rica and Uruguay. The selection criteria of the cases were two. Firstly, the existence of evidence of different institutional orientations in each country. We selected a strongly market-oriented system (Chile), a universal public healthcare system (Costa Rica) and a system that transitions from the first to the second model (Uruguay).
