- 2.3.1 The problem
15Problem
Almost half of Mexican households lack health
insurance, which limits access to care, reduces
opportunities for risk pooling, and generates
catastrophic expenditures.

policy making

goods Concepts Methods InstrumentsEvidenc

21Components of stewardship
- Health policy formulation defining the vision
and direction for the entire health system
setting priorities, and advocating intersectorial
action for healthy policies. - Regulation setting fair rules of the game with a
level playing field and protecting comsumers. - Intelligence assessing performance and sharing
information.
22(No Transcript)
23Components of financing
- Revenue collection mobilizing money from
households, firms and donors. - Fund pooling accumulating revenues for the
common advantage of participants by sharing
financial risks. - Purchasing allocating money to providers in
order to deliver interventions.
24Objectives of the reform
- Create a legal framework to increase public
expenditure for health in a gradual, fiscally
responsible, and sustainable manner. - Achieve greater allocative efficiency by
protecting funding for cost-effective
community-based preventive interventions. - Protect families from health expenditures by a
collective mechanism to manage risks in a fair
way. - Transform incentives from supply-side to
demand-side in order to promote quality,
efficiency, and responsiveness to users. - Restructure the Ministry of Health away from
direct provision of care for the poor and towards
stewardship of the entire health system.

38Challenges
- Maintaining the pace of enrollment and improving
quality of care. - Sustaining investment expansion in the health
sector. - Converting the system into being more
client-oriented and responsive. - Strengthening provider incentives and developing
a more competitive environment on the
supply-side. - Converging towards a single national risk pool,
especially for protection against catastrophic
expenditures. - Mainstreaming evidence and information as key
tools for implementation. - Involving the diversity of actors to maintain
broad support base and assure continuity in the
face of political transition.

40Relevance to other countries
- Reorganizing financing as an strategy to solve
similar problems out-of-pocket predominance,
financial injustice, and catastrophic
expenditures, in the context of the dual
challenge. - Reforming in a context of budgetary constraints
and the central role of incentives, efficency,
consumer satisfaction, and accountability. - Stressing the value of health for economic
performance and changing the views of policy
makers in other sectors. - Restructuring the Ministry of Health for better
stewardship of a health care system oriented
towards universal access to high-quality care
with fair financing.
