PARAGUAY: Health Insurance for All (Registered) Domestics

By Natalia Ruiz Díaz

It took 42 years for social security health care coverage for domestics to extend beyond the limits of the Paraguayan capital.

The measure adopted by the social security institute, the Instituto de Previsión Social, could potentially benefit some 290,000 people – mainly women – working in domestic service throughout this impoverished landlocked South American country of 6.1 million, as well as their families.

"This is a huge stride forward which will help improve the living conditions of domestics in Paraguay," the president of the Association of Domestic Service Workers (AESD), Solana Meza, told IPS.

The challenge now is to get employers to register their domestics with the social security system, which very few have done.

Although health care coverage is obligatory for formal sector workers under Paraguay's labour code, only as of this week do all domestic workers have a right to health insurance - 42 years after the inclusion of that stipulation in the social security institute's charter in 1967.

Domestic workers were not covered when the Instituto de Previsión Social was established in 1943. That situation began to change when a special system for health insurance for domestics went into effect in Asunción in 1967. The aim was to gradually expand it to the whole country. But that never happened.

The social security institute's health care insurance covers maternity, non work-related illness, work-related illness and accidents, surgery, dental care, medication, hospitalisation and a disability subsidy.

To Future Volunteers- Information and Recommendations concerning Training

On Training

This post is mostly written for the benefit of future trainees in Paraguay, and more specifically, future Rural Economic Development (RED) and Municipal Development (Muni) trainees. Others may or may not find it interesting, so feel free to skim through this part, but be sure to check out the pictures to see where I spent the majority of my first 3 months in Paraguay (in the training facilities). Also I provide a lot of insights here and there that may or may not be interesting to a non-applicant audience.

It’s a HUGE and detailed post, so come back to it when you have some time on your hands or tackle it in chunks. I included some formatting, which should help if you want to scan and look information of interest to you.

I know what it is like to pour through volunteers’ blogs in an attempt to gather information and gain insights, so I’m going to give it to you straight and try to be as thorough as possible. With that said, this is written from my perspective so please don’t take this as the Gospel on training in Paraguay. Any number of factors will affect your unique experience including the season, your host community, what sector you’re in, your background coming into training, your personality, who your tech trainer is, etc...

When preparing this blog entry I tried to think of questions and expectations I had before leaving for training and also tried to provide some insights into a few things I had no notion of before coming, but which would have been helpful had I known early on. I also spoke with some of my fellow trainees to generate some additional perspectives/ideas.
