State of the Industry After almost two revolutionary years for the sector, providers continue to demonstrate their strength. The stage has been set, with the health system moving toward a patient-centric approach, supported by technology, a preventive healthcare culture and patient empowerment. As healthcare becomes a national priority, universal access is key to offer comprehensive health services to all people and communities regardless of their financial capabilities. To achieve this, the sector has established close collaboration between different providers, which has boosted the impact of measures to face the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, opening the door for collaboration to address the sector’s longstanding burdens, such as financial barriers and lack of infrastructure and personnel. The government’s vaccination program and public health coverage through INSABI continue to move forward. While there are still gaps to be addressed, efforts from both the public and private sectors point to a solution. Mexico’s health industry is and will continue to be an economic pillar for the country. To achieve the industry’s full potential, providers agree on the importance of digitalization throughout the entire supply chain, from manufacturing and development processes to direct contact with patients. Key stakeholders say this has and will reshape the way health is developed and delivered.
