title: [Labor regularization of health workers paid with funds from the Mexican System for Social Protection in Health].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The process of regularization of workers paid by the Social Protection Health System of Mexico is described and analyzed.
  
  
  METHODS
  Primary and secondary data collected by the external evaluation of the Mexican System for Social Protection in Health in 2009 were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The regularization clearly improved the labor conditions of workers contracted by the system but a broader systemic implication of regularization does not seem to be necessarily positive.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is important to consider the need to guarantee that this type of changes in the contractual conditions of workers benefit all actors, particularly the insured population.
