The implications of the Lack of Coordination and Self-Centered political Goals in Public Health: An insight into Mexico’s Response to COVID-19: A Case Study Report
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This manuscript aims to explore the problems that the lack of coordination, inadequate management of the COVID-19 pandemic and insufficient health policies may represent to assertively face the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. As addressed by the recent Report “Mexico’s Response to COVID-19: A case Study” published by the Institute of Global Health Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, so far Mexico has been struggling with systemic problems in the emergency response model that led to failures regarding the incorporation of relevant scientific evidence, implementation of a precautionary approach in the management of the pandemic, as well as prevalent coordination strategies that so far has had a result of high rates of COVID-19 transmission and an increasing number of death tolls, among other concerns. The situation of Mexico may offer some lessons on what should be avoided in dealing with public health emergency crisis, such as persuing political goals instead of focusing on public health objectives. For that matter, more than partisan purposes, it is significant to highlight the relevance of the national and international commitments with human rights that the Mexican State has assumed, as well as a dialogue among public, private and social sector that altogether may help to find optimal solutions aimed at tackling the problems that have aroused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
