Health sector reforms in Mexico
Abstract
The reforms in the health sector in Mexico date back seventy-eight years, which have the purpose of making changes in the instances and functions, with the intention of increasing the equity of medical services and thereby achieving universal coverage. These modifications have tried to reduce the structural fragmentation between social security and public health assistance institutes, recognize the right to health protection and include the private sector as a constitutive part of the health sector. However, these reforms still present problems of fragmentation, inefficiency and inequity in the Mexican health system.
