Objective: to compare health systems and the implications for the role of nurses between Brazil and Chile. Method: documentary study with a qualitative approach, based on consultation with official open-source documents. Data were analysed using content analysis. Results: both countries respond to the general guidelines of the World Health Organization regarding health promotion and disease prevention throughout the life cycle, in individuals, families and communities. Differences related to health systems were evidenced, especially regarding the form of financing, legislation, and the nurses' work process. Conclusion: although there are similarities because the countries belong to the same geographic region, differences can be seen in Primary Health Care, especially regarding to the health systems’ structure, financing and in some areas, such as care management and nurses’ role.
