Uruguay's Sistema Nacional Integrado de Salud, established by a December 2007 law, integrates public and private health providers into a single system guaranteeing access to comprehensive health services for citizens. It is financed through the National Health Fund, created by a May 2007 law and funded by employer and employee contributions, and lets contributors choose between the public Public Health Services Administration network and more than forty private nonprofit Mutualista health cooperatives, together serving workers and retirees.
