Abstract

La crisis sanitaria mundial provocada por la pandemia de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) ha puesto de manifiesto la importante relación que existe entre la economía y la salud. Esta relación se da en los planos microeconómico, macroeconómico e institucional, ya que los mercados de la salud tienden a sufrir fallas de mercado; el gasto sanitario tiende a aumentar como porcentaje del producto interno bruto (PIB), y su financiamiento tiene consecuencias en las finanzas públicas a largo plazo. En el caso de México, la creación de un sistema de salud público segmentado, como consecuencia del sistema de protección social que se viene aplicando en el país desde 1943 y que ha sido objeto de diversas reformas en los últimos años, ha contribuido a convertir el acceso a la salud en un importante factor de desigualdad, que repercute en la pobreza multidimensional de un segmento significativo de la población.
