Current status
The National Health System is made up of federal and state institutions, as well as specialized agencies that coordinate the provision of medical services, disease prevention, epidemiological surveillance, and health regulation in Mexico. Its objective is to guarantee timely access to quality health services for the entire population.
According to the 2025-2030 Health Sector Program, national priorities are focused on expanding healthcare coverage, strengthening the problem-solving capacity of health institutions, ensuring the supply of medicines and medical supplies, reducing access gaps between regions, and modernizing the country’s healthcare infrastructure.

Medical Infrastructure
Healthcare infrastructure is one of the main pillars for guaranteeing universal access to health services and strengthening the care capacity of the National Health System. Within the framework of the 2025-2030 Health Sector Program, infrastructure actions are aimed not only at the construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of medical facilities, but also at reducing healthcare deserts, strengthening the problem-solving capacity of primary healthcare services, expanding coverage in rural and marginalized areas, and promoting remote care mechanisms through telehealth and telemedicine.
As part of this strategy, the Government of Mexico is promoting the National Hospital Infrastructure Plan, which contemplates the implementation of 152 hospital projects by 2030, including the construction of 50 new hospitals, 47 expansions, and 55 replacements or major upgrades. These actions represent an estimated investment of 181 billion pesos and will increase the installed capacity of the healthcare system, expanding from 96,966 to 106,105 hospital beds nationwide.

Planning for these investments is carried out through the Master Plan for Physical Health Infrastructure (PMIFS), an instrument that identifies healthcare infrastructure and medical equipment needs based on service demand and guides public investment in the health sector.
Installed Capacity
The public health network has more than 20,500 outpatient care facilities distributed throughout the country, including health centers, family medicine clinics, specialized medical offices, and community healthcare units. In addition, it has:
- 86,304 medical consulting rooms
- 4,495 operating rooms
- 150,148 hospital beds
- 483 CT scanners
- 148 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) units
- 763 mammography units
- 84 linear accelerators for cancer treatment
This infrastructure makes it possible to meet the healthcare needs of a growing population. However, challenges remain regarding the territorial distribution of services, the modernization of facilities, and the replacement and upgrading of specialized medical equipment.
Private Sector Participation
According to the 2025 Health Statistics in Private Healthcare Establishments published by INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography), Mexico’s healthcare system is complemented by significant participation from the private sector, particularly in hospital services, clinical diagnostics, and specialized care.
At the end of 2025, there were 2,689 private healthcare establishments operating in the country, with more than 35,000 inpatient beds. These facilities strengthen the installed capacity of the national healthcare system and expand healthcare options available to the population.
Institutional Arrangement
Mexico’s health sector has an institutional and planning framework that coordinates the participation of the three levels of government and various stakeholders to improve healthcare infrastructure and medical equipment, strengthen the supply of medicines, and modernize healthcare services, with the goal of ensuring universal, free, and high-quality healthcare.
