Public Health Care Options in Mexico (Two Expats Mexico)
Although it has been the greatest wish of the last few presidents, so far none of them has achieved it. There are now 14 entities in talks to modify their health care system.
Some of the specialties offered to the benefited population are Gynecology, Pediatrics, Emergency, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Anesthesia, Family Medicine, Epidemiology, Otorhinolaryngology, Traumatology, Orthopedics and Ophthalmology.
One of the greatest wishes of recent presidents has been the universalization of health care. This is the highest aspiration they have sought, although so far none of them has achieved it. But now that could change because they aspire to achieve it in the short term. The question is whether it can be achieved.
The general director of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Zoé Robledo, assured that the federal government is working on the transformation of the national health system. He seeks to make the IMSS-BIENESTAR program the new health care model for people without social security. With this, he intends to fulfill the human right of access to health care.
"I believe that it is everyone's dream that the quality of care in the country for those who get sick and the human right to health be verified by the Federation with an egalitarian and universal model throughout Mexico", said Zoé Robledo during his master conference "Social Security and Welfare State", within the framework of the National Week of Social Security, in the Chamber of Deputies.
The Foundations of IMSS Bienestar
He indicated that IMSS-BIENESTAR is a cornerstone of health because it is based on four pillars: primary health care, community action and social participation, hospital care every day of the year, and improvement, maintenance and conservation of infrastructure and medical equipment.
He emphasized that this program provides specialized medical care in Gynecology, Pediatrics, Emergencies, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Anesthesia, Family Medicine, Epidemiology, Otorhinolaryngology, Traumatology, Orthopedics and Ophthalmology.
Mexico Aspires to the Universalization of Healthcare
The Director General of the IMSS explained that work is being done to move towards a universal health system, where the first level of care is strengthened, which is preventive health, and to have healthy people in different processes of life, from birth to death.
He stated that the first state to transform its healthcare model was Nayarit and there are also possibilities for the state of San Luis Potosí to join this year.
