On August 31, the decree that creates the IMSS-Well-being Decentralized Public Organization was published, which is now supposed to do what the already infamous Health Institute for Well-being (Insabi) could not do in 3 years: guarantee that in Mexico all people without social security have access to health services.
The announcement was no longer made with as much fanfare as it was in 2019 when Insabi was born and when the 4T promised for the first time universal coverage with free medicines for all. He keeps promising it but now without credibility.
The current administration with the Insabi not only did not advance in the objective but, on the contrary, with the disappearance of the Popular Insurance, the proportion of inhabitants without health coverage increased, as Coneval itself has confirmed. In addition, the sudden disappearance of the purchasing structure and the strict breakdown of the supply chain generated such a historical shortage that to date it has not yet finished reordering. The absolute ignorance and lack of expertise of the team that managed Insabi led by Juan Ferrer from the beginning counted a lot. We hope that at some point it will be quantified how costly this deadly sin was for the country and the setback it meant for the public health system.
Now, with the new IMSS-Wellness, it is intended to materialize the refederalization of state health services, concentrating efforts on the first and second level of care. According to the decree published in the Official Gazette, the IMSS-Well-being will no longer be within the structure of the IMSS, but will work in parallel to the IMSS; it will have its own structure and assets, it will also have its own CEO (appointed by the President of the Republic) and its own governing board. An attempt is being made to form a body with collegiate decisions, since the IMSS-Well-being Governing Board will be chaired by the head of the IMSS but will be accompanied by the heads of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare and the Ministry of Welfare, together with the head of the Union.
What will happen to the Insabi? It doesn’t know well. It has not been said what he will have to do but for practical purposes the great organization that he tried to be, in three years had his debut and farewell. Although it has been implied that it will not disappear, it has not been made clear what function it will perform. It is known that, together with UNOPS, it continues with the process of purchasing medicines and other supplies towards the supply of 2023, although with quite pressured times.
To tell the truth, what was least needed was to provide a new body for the current public health system, which is already highly fragmented and therefore one of the most complex in the world.
What yes, is that with the creation of the IMSS-Well-being, the current administration admitted the gross error it had with the creation of the dysfunctional Insabi, which in a short time was able to demonstrate its incapacity and its lack of results.
Now, as the Center for Economic and Budgetary Research (CIEP) says, we will be attentive to the presentation of the Economic Package 2023 that is presented this September 8 to analyze whether the creation of the IMSS-Well-being as a Decentralized Public Organization, with its own structure and assets , will be accompanied by budget priority. Because to expand the coverage it is necessary to expand the size of the blanket; if it comes with the same budget shortfalls, then it will only confirm that in the remaining two years of the current government there is nothing to hope for in health but promises.
5 approvals carries Moderna’s bivalent booster
Important steps are being taken by the American biopharmaceutical company Moderna for its Bivalent Original/Ómicron BA.1 vaccine (mRNA-1273.214), its next-generation messenger RNA candidate targeting the Omicron variant in circulation (BA.1). Apart from the fact that it has already received 5 approvals for its reinforcements -in the United States, Australia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and about to obtain it from the European EMA-, the most interesting thing is that experts from the European Medicines Agency recommend authorizing it for conditional marketing. It would be the first anticovid vaccine that could be sold.
Mexican creates biodegradable anticovid test
Did you know that every time a rapid test is carried out to detect Covid19, about 10g of plastic is thrown away that will never be recycled? For this reason, due to face masks and other protective equipment, disposable plastic has tripled during the pandemic. Hence the relevance of the Mexican Gelassette project, a biodegradable rapid test to detect Covid-19, whose container degrades in less than four weeks at ground level and dissolves in water in less than three hours. It is an innovation by Luis Fernando Sánchez, a graduate of the Industrial Design career at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico City campus, who has everything to be a worldwide success.
September, blood cancer month
September marks World Hematological Cancer Month. Every September 5 is World Multiple Myeloma Day and September 22 is World Leukemia Day, instituted by the WHO in order to raise awareness about these types of cancer that, although they are not so frequent, it is important that they have early detection to achieve prompt treatment and a better chance of life for patients. According to estimates by the biopharmaceutical company Amgen, in Mexico there are about 5,000 people living with multiple myeloma, and every year there are 2,000 new cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
