Conflicts of interest in the distribution of health resources need to be clarified and regulated with bioethical principles of justice, in other words, specified in terms of equity, utility, and care for the most vulnerable. In this way, it becomes possible for the interest of the public, rather than other types of interests, to triumph in matters of distribution. As a result, situations of partiality in the implementation of policies of distribution or in the selection of patients who are to receive scarce resources are avoided. This is a need in particular in countries such as Mexico, where there is a great deal of social injustice, embodied in several social determinants of health. This article aims to offer insightful principles for justice in the distribution of health resources.
