title: An era of change and reform in health and social security in Mexico.
abstract: As with many countries who try to provide their population with public health, social security programs and benefits, Mexico, for the past decade, has been striving in trying to allocate the proper means and solutions to the nation's medical and economic problems, with great difficulty. Being regarded as a developing country, many are the constraints affecting our financial and administrative attempted solutions (big internal and external debt, high inflation, unemployment, excess bureaucracy, constant mismanagement, overlapping health systems and in some spheres, even corruptions). In response to the above and in trying to maintain at least the current sustained level of care and attention built in the past through great effort and sacrifice by many, our country has taken the decision to search for new ways and solutions to promote change and public benefits. In a broad sense, this article then explains the transformation our health system is experiencing.
