COBO-ARMIJO, Fernanda; CHARVEL, Sofía y PELCASTRE-VILLAFUERTE, Blanca Estela. The judicialization of the right to health in México from the stakeholders’ perspective. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.2, pp.308-313. Epub 27-Feb-2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/10491.
Objective:
Understand what Mexican key stakeholders think about the judicialization of the right to health in Mexico.
Materials and methods:
30 semi-structured interviews were conducted at different settings in Mexico City with representatives of the judiciary, legislative power, Health Sector (HS), pharmaceutical industry, academia and non-governmental organizations from May 2017 to August 2018. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed based on different categories of interest.
Results:
There are different opinions regarding judicialization of the right to health. Tensions exist between those who see its potential effect as a game changer for the HS and those who perceive it as an illegitimate interference of the judiciary. There is no coordinated strategy between sectors to promote change in the HS.
Conclusions:
There are different opinions regarding judicialization of the right to health in Mexico. There are tensions between those who see its potential effect as a game changer for the HS and those who perceive it as an illegitimate interference of the judiciary. Others argue that there is no coordinated strategy between sectors to promote change in the HS. All agree that judicialization in Mexico is a reality.
