This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understood as a benefit derived from social security, healthcare provision was historically developed in Mexico within the context of labor laws and tied to the multiple social security institutions (SSIs) created throughout the first half of the twentieth century. However, the combination of an increase in informal unemployment, lack of institutional fiscal frameworks to support revenue raising, and political-economic aspects led to the development of a three-tiered system with financing and healthcare delivery practically independent from each other: 1) public health services provided by the various social-security institutions to the SSI-affiliated population, 2) public Ministry of Health (MoH) delivery for the population without affiliation to SSIs (nonSSI population) and 3) an increasingly growing private sector that complements the public health system's inability to meet population needs.During the past three decades, Mexico adopted multiple health reforms targeting the nonSSI tier with the aim of reducing inequities that result from financial and healthcare delivery fragmentation across the two tiers of the public healthcare system. These reforms included changes to health financing, workforce and shifted the fiscal attributions between states and the central government. While there exists abundant evidence on the consequences of these reforms on health system performance of the public non-SSI tier, two issues remain unexplored. First, the variation of these effects across the 32 Mexican states. Second, the absence of studies in the private sector even when almost half of national total health spending is financed through private funds.In this context, this dissertation aims to assess the participation of the private sector in health financing and workforce for the non-SSI tier of the Mexican healthcare system. To do so, it carries out three empirical studies with different research designs and data sources.The first study uses a cross-sectional design and data from an individual-level survey of adults from four Latin American countries in 2014; Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia and Brazil to investigate the association between private insurance and financial protection. Results point out that countries that managed to integrate the social security and non-social security health tiers through changes in health financing arrangements, -Brazil and Colombia- are potentially better able to provide financial protection to their population than Mexico and El Salvador, which continue to face steeper integration challenges underpinned by their health financing arrangements.The second and third studies are sub-national analyses of the effect of public health spending for the non-SSI population on financial protection (study 2) and workforce (study 3). Study 2 uses a cross-sectional design (2018) to test if states that allocate a higher level of financial resources to health for the non-SSI population are better able to protect their population against financial burden. Overall, results point to an inverse relationship between public health spending and financial protection and that this is even more pronounced in states that allocate a higher share from their own revenues.Study 3 uses multiple available data sources to build 17-year panel (2004-2020) to investigate the effect of public health spending for the non-SSI on changes in the number of physicians working in public and private settings. Results show that the rate of nurses grew more than physicians during the period of study, particularly among those working in public settings. While public health spending on the non-SSI population contributed to increased public and private workforce, there are steep variations across states.This dissertation contributes to the discussion of central government-state relations as well as the interaction between public-private sectors in healthcare, since they can no longer be independently understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?This academic but passionate and controversial work should be read by specialists on Mexico and Latin America, as well as by those interested in healthcare and social policy in general.??Carmelo Mesa-Lago, University of PittsburghHas Mexico, twenty years after beginning the process of decentralizing its health system, realized the anticipated benefits of increased community participation and improvements in efficiency and quality? Addressing this question, Decentralizing Health Services in Mexico presents a thorough historical and theoretical grounding, as well as representative case studies of decentralization at the state and local levels.The authors combine qualitative and quantitative data in their examination of the transfer of authority over fiscal, human, and physical resources in the health sector. The result is a major contribution to the ongoing debate over the advantages and disadvantages of decentralization in varying political, cultural, and economic contexts.Nuria Homedes is associate professor at the University of Texas School of Public Health-Houston.

This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book was oriented towards achieving two main objectives. The first of them was to create a description of the main changes that have been made to the system since the beginning of the 2018-2024 Administration in Mexico. The diversity of the reforms and their scope make it difficult for the population to follow up on them and know how their right to health protection will be guaranteed. Thus, understanding the impact and extension of the reforms was one of the priorities of this study. Consequently, it was sought to develop a consultation document that allows identifying the current state of the SNS. The World Health Organization (who) has pointed out that health systems comprise all the institutions, organizations and resources used to produce actions aimed at improving health. Its performance can be measured based on its ability to respond to the needs of the population through actions such as increasing equality in access to health, reducing health risks and protecting individuals from the financial consequences caused by hight costs deseases. In this way, it is imperative that health systems have an efficient design that allows guaranteeing the protection of the right to health.

Download or read book Evidence Based Health Policy written by Julio Frenk and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mexican health system has evolved through three generations of reform. The creation of the Ministry of Health and the main social security agency in 1943 marked the first generation of health reforms. In the late 1970s, a second generation of reforms was launched around the primary health-care model. Third-generation reforms favour systemic changes to reorganise the system through the horizontal integration of basic functions -- stewardship, financing, and provision. The stability of leadership in the health sector is emphasised as a key element that allowed for reform during the past 60 years. Furthermore, there has been a transition in the second generation of reforms to a model that is increasingly based on evidence; this has been intensified and extended in the third generation of reforms. We also examine policy developments that will provide social protection in health for all. These developments could be of interest for countries seeking to provide their citizens with universal access to health care that incorporates equity, quality, and financial protection.
