Mexico public health funding and procurement

Overview

In late September 2026, Mexican health authorities implemented significant financial measures to address medical resource needs. In the State of Mexico, a formal agreement allocated approximately 1.35 billion pesos in federal resources and supplies to support public health programs. This funding targets universal vaccination, maternal and sexual health, HIV, hepatitis, cancer prevention, and epidemiological surveillance, occurring amidst local protests regarding shortages of medicines, equipment, and salary delays.

Concurrently, the federal Ministry of Health concluded a large-scale procurement process for the 2027-2028 period. This initiative involves an investment of approximately 84 billion pesos to acquire 3.2 billion units of medicines and health supplies for federal hospitals and clinics. The Ministry noted a significant increase in the participation of national suppliers and indicated that approximately 15 percent of product codes were not awarded in this stage, with additional contracting procedures expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
