Chile’s Chamber of Deputies passed a bill intended to compensate part of the cost of diapers and certain medicines on September 29, 2026, Emol reported. Adult diapers are included alongside children’s diapers.
The Chamber’s official legislative file for bill 18255-31 as checked on October 17, 2026, records a September 29 communication to the reviewing chamber and identifies the bill as being in its second constitutional stage. This confirms legislative progress, not an operating reimbursement programme. The draft legislation and the September vote should not be used to promise a payment amount or eligibility without checking the eventual enacted rules.
