  • Municipal deprivation and cardiometabolic outcomes in Mexican adults

    Open AccessDavid Contreras-Loya, Martín Romero-Martínez et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2026

    Cardiometabolic diseases are rising rapidly in low- and middle-income countries. Managing them requires a full cascade of care: early detection, treatment, and long-term control. Yet in Mexico, many adults are not reached by effective care, especially in poorer municipalities where health services are scarce. These local inequities mean that the municipality of residence can strongly determine whether their condition is detected, treated, or cont…

  • Caregiving for China’s one-child generation

    Open AccessXiaoxiao Jiang Kwete, Felicia M Knaul et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: The introduction, strict enforcement and recent exit of China's one-child policy (OCP) resulted in China's demographical changes, and, alongside its epidemiological transition, disproportionately impacted caregiving needs and demands on women. This study examines women's caregiving responsibilities in contemporary China and evaluates how the OCP affected them. METHODS: We simulated the female population aged 25-54 years in 2020 in C…

    Open AccessEric L Krakauer, Xiaoxiao Jiang Kwete et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Integration of palliative care into health care systems is considered an ethical responsibility, yet no country in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EaMReg) has achieved integration. Data on palliative care need and cost are crucial forEaMReg health care planners and implementers in the region. Using data from the Lancet Commission on Palliative Care and Pain Relief, we estimated the number of people in each EaMReg country who needed palliative c…

  • Increase of catastrophic and impoverishing health expenditures in Mexico associated to policy changes and the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessEdson Serván-Mori, Octavio Gómez-Dantés et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2023

    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…

    INTRODUCTION: To present an analysis of the Brazilian health system and subnational (state) variation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, based on 10 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected daily information on implementation of 10 NPI designed to inform the public of health risks and promote distancing and mask use at the national level for eight countries across the Americas.

    Open AccessSVETLANA V DOUBOVA, Valle de México et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2020References: 19

    In Mexico, paediatric cancer is the leading cause of death for children aged 0–18 years. This study analyses the main challenges for paediatric cancer care from the perspective of three key health systems functions: stewardship, financing and service delivery. The study used a mixed methods approach comprised of: (1) a scoping literature review, (2) an analysis of 2008–18 expenditures on paediatric cancer by the Fund for Protection against Catast…

  • Solving the Global Crisis in Access to Pain Relief

    Afsan Bhadelia, Liliana De Lima et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2019References: 7

    Annually, more than 61 million people worldwide experience about 6 billion days of serious health-related suffering that could be alleviated with access to palliative care and pain relief. However, palliative care is limited or nonexistent in most parts of the world. The access abyss is so stark that 50% of the world’s poorest populations live in countries that receive only 1% of the opioid analgesics distributed worldwide. By contrast, the riche…

  • Breast cancer in Mexico

    Felicia M Knaul, Gustavo Nigenda et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health Matters2008Cited by: 2References: 13

    Breast cancer is a serious threat to the health of women globally, and an unrecognised priority in middle-income countries. This paper presents data from Mexico. It shows that breast cancer accounts for more deaths than cervical cancer since 2006. It is the second cause of death for women aged 30–54 and affects all socio-economic groups. Data on detection, although under-reported, show 6,000 new cases in 1990, and a projected increase to over 16,…
