MEXICO CITY – President Enrique Peña Nieto announced that he plans to push for the creation of a universal healthcare system last week.

“The goal is to have a more homogenous healthcare system, with integrated operations and better coordination between our country’s different health institutions,” Peña Nieto said.

“It will be essential to fully provide for the right to healthcare as a human right as enshrined in our constitution.”

A universal healthcare initiative will be presented to Congress in 2014, Peña Nieto said, adding that some of the primary goals of the plan will be to ensure that healthcare services are not fragmented, redundant operations are cut and financing is not duplicated. Oversaturation of hospitals must also be avoided, which he said prevent Mexicans from receiving the quality of healthcare they deserve.
