Health financing inequality in fragmented health systems
Universal health coverage (UHC) depends, among other things, on fair and efficient public financing. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), fragmented health systems entrench inequalities by linking entitlements to employment status. In Mexico, persistent segmentation and institutional fragmentation have shaped the structure and distribution of public health financing, exemplifying this challenge through a dual public system that separ…
Ethnic and racial discrimination in maternal health care in Mexico
Despite modest health policy successes, the ethnic gap in ECMH remains unchanged, indicating insufficient action against inequity-producing structures. Ethnic and racial discrimination persists, exacerbated during the pandemic and coinciding with the government's cancellation of targeted social programs and public health insurance focused on the poorest populations, including Indigenous peoples. Thus, prioritizing maternal and child health unders…
Health system financing fragmentation and maternal mortality transition in Mexico, 2000–2022
The results of this study confirm the close relationship between maternal mortality and social inequalities, and suggest that affiliation with social security has ceased to be a differentiating factor in recent years. Understanding the evolution of maternal mortality between the population with and without social security in Mexico allows us to quantify the gap in maternal deaths attributed to inequalities in access to maternal health services, w…
Inequities in the continuum of maternal care in Mexico
Despite efforts to improve maternal care, comprehensive antenatal services reach only 61.8% of women in Mexico. This stresses not only the need for targeted policies to enhance antenatal, delivery, and postnatal coverage at critical stages of care, but also the need to continue strengthening strategies that have rendered good results, and not to eliminate them simply for political-ideological reasons. It is imperative to prioritize reducing exist…
State of HIV costing in Latin America and the Caribbean
Objectives. To summarize available data on unit costs for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing, prevention, and care interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods. We conducted a systematic literature review of costing studies published between 2012 and 2024, and selected those reporting empirically measured costing data. The available data were categorized according to predefined intervention categories and compared by time and…
Increase of catastrophic and impoverishing health expenditures in Mexico associated to policy changes and the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: In 2003, the Mexican Congress approved a major reform to provide health care services to the poor population through the public insurance scheme Seguro Popular. This program was dismantled in 2019 as part of a set of health system reforms and substituted with the Health Institute for Welfare (INSABI). These changes were implemented during the initial phases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We aimed to examine the impact of thes…
Changes in sexual behavior, PrEP use, and Covid-19 experience among men who have sex with men in Mexico
The Role of Effective Knowledge on Contraceptive Methods Use in the Replication of Mother-Daughter Adolescent Pregnancy in Mexico
Profiles of Depressive Symptoms Among Men Who Have Sex With Men and Transgender Women During the Covid-19 Outbreak in Mexico
The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on mental health among HIV high-risk populations is not known. We assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms (DS) and explore the association with characteristics related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted an online survey among 881 men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) assessing the presence of DS using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10); results were …
Improving the effective maternal-child health care coverage through synergies between supply and demand-side interventions
BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, the Mexican government has released several efforts to achieve universal health coverage (UHC), based on the principles of fairness and social protection, to reduce the inequities in utilization, access, and quality of care existing in the health system. Two of the most important social public policies that have targeted the population without access to social security include the 1997 conditional cash trans…
Deported Mexican migrants
OBJECTIVE To describe the health status and access to care of forced-return Mexican migrants deported through the Mexico-United States border and to compare it with the situation of voluntary-return migrants. METHODS Secondary data analysis from the Survey on Migration in Mexico’s Northern Border from 2012. This is a continuous survey, designed to describe migration flows between Mexico and the United States, with a mobile-population sampling des…
