[Already in the 21st century ... a new leadership in health sciences].
It is a fact to state that health care has never succeeded in covering such a wide series of sectors of the population in our country. The health care network created both by public as well as private efforts, and occasionally due to the collaboration by both fields, offers a framework of health care services which ensures there is a satisfactory coverage for the general population. It is difficult to provide a rebuttal to this statement; all one needs to do is recall what the status of our health care system was a few years ago. We have not achieved a perfect system. The development of our health care network has been produced by expansion. As we have come to believe that health is an unalienable right, we have to expand health care services to cover everyone. This effort leads to a second phase which brings to bear upon us new problems. One is the quality of health care services and the second is cost.
