MEXICO: 25 años de "tortuosas" reformas...

Nuria Homedes y Antonio Ugalde son editores del Boletín Fármacos.
Ahora publican el PLoS este trabajo sobre las reformas en salud realizadas en México en los últimos 25 años.
  • The first reform (1983) was a failed attempt to decentralize the Ministry of Health (MoH) by transferring financial responsibilities without devolving adequate decision-making authority to the states.

  • The second reform (1994) advanced the decentralization of the MoH and attempted to increase the exposure of the major public social security scheme to private sector competition.

  • In 2003, a third reform, the Seguro Popular (SP), emphasized improved access and services for the poor.

  • Although accessibility has increased, the Mexican reforms have not resulted in significant reductions of health inequities, or in increased efficiency, productivity, or quality, despite their costs.
