This article reconstructs Chile's cultural health policy, focusing on the maternal-infant program. This program emerges as a nexus interlinking gender, politics, and health, all in service of propagating discourses encompassing industrial advancement and national wellbeing. The research draws from original archival sources, allowing a spotlight on the program's enduring continuity across decades and diverse political regimes-from the early 20th century through the Popular Unity government. As the article reveals, education assumes a pivotal role across three areas within the evolution of social medicine: instructional frameworks, professional training, and popular education.
