4 NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM OF MEXICO In accordance with federal health law, Mexico s National Health System is administered by government agencies at the federal, state and local levels; private providers; and not-for-profit organizations a) Seguridad Social / federal social security institutions (IMSS, ISSSTE, PEMEX, SEDENA, and SEMAR) Services are provided on a prepaid basis by contributions from employers and employees and the federal government: IMSS (private sector, government and employees), ISSSTE (Federal government and employees), PEMEX (National Oil company and employees), SEDENA (Army) or SEMAR (Navy). 4

5 b) Secretaría de Salud (SESA)/ federal, state and jurisdictional health departments Provides health care to those not covered by the federal social security institutions mentioned in (a) Financed by resources from the federal government, state governments and individuals (sliding scale according to income level) A specific program that targets the underserved, IMSS- Opportunities or PROSPERA, is financed with federal funds and delivered through IMSS health services. 5

6 c) Seguro Popular en Salud (SPS) / the People s Health Insurance Fund Financed by federal resources, state resources and family contributions. Administered by state government State governments use funds to contract through SESA to finance health services Designed to reach persons not receiving social security/health insurance and not already registered with the Secretaría de Salud SPS began in 2004, serving 5.3 million Mexicans As of 2015, SPS is covering 57.1 million Mexicans 6

21 Summary The Mexican health system has achieved high coverage. However, there are important issues yet to resolve: Inequality and lack of access to health services among rural, marginalized and indigenous populations Variable quality in basic health services Duplication in services due to poor coordination (People share IMSS & ISSSTE;ISSSTE & PRIVATE;SESA & OPORTUNIDADES) Under appreciation for Seguro Popular in some cultural subpopulations, who continue to spend resources on private health care services 22

22 POPULATION MOBILITY AND HEALTH 23

23 Mobility and Health in the Migrant and Border Populations We have information on migration patterns and population dynamics, but little on health in migrant populations. 4 of 10 Mexicans in the US do not have health insurance (CONAPO) Mexican and US residents cross the border daily in search of health services, including reproductive health and childbirth services, but we know little about these patterns In addition to Mexican migrants, 100,900 Central American are returned by US migration through Mexico. Refugees in Mexico (Central American and Haitian) are looking to pass to US Many other migrant flows, including laborers, tourists, and 24 others with unknown health care status and needs

28 Summary and recommendations The Mexican migrant population has the right to health services but some groups lack access or do not know how to access them The population of the region moves from one country to another with special health care needs, but services do not follow. Each country serves their own. Portabilility in some basic services is needed. Migratory flows have not incorporated the needs and information of the migrant health and reproductive health: of labor migrants, returnees, refugees, undocumented and those looking for lower cost services Bi-national working groups could form to clarify the problem and make recommendations. 29
