Healthcare in Mexico

Healthcare in Mexico is provided by public institutions run by government departments, private hospitals and clinics, and private physicians. It is largely characterized by a special combination of coverage mainly based on the employment status of the people. Every Mexican citizen is guaranteed no cost access to healthcare and medicine according to the Mexican constitution and made a reality with the “Institute of Health for Well-being”, or INSABI.

The Mexican Federal Constitution places main responsibility on the state in providing national health to the population. This segmentation in the system has allowed private organizations and offices run by physicians to offer a variety of healthcare options to people who can afford it and are willing to pay for it. With Jorge L. León-Cortés research of the background into Mexico's past, it was noted that (2012–2018) there has been an intense uprising of transmittable diseases and very long-term illnesses in the Mexican population with their current life expectances and mortality rate. The overall structure of the Mexican health system is in a continually developing and heterogenous state, and this is reflected in national health statistics and accessibility standards observed in the country.
