“This information offers relevant data for the diagnosis, based on the periodicity of the source and the monitoring of social policy results, understood as a series of criteria, regulations and programs in the federative entities,” the agency explained.
Another compilation taken into account by the Coneval on the right -wing population that did not spend on medical services indicates that 14 states reached a percentage greater than 90% and the lowest value was 75.5 percent.
“The existence of gaps between federal entities in health accessibility is warned. It should be reiterated that these indicators do not refer to basic access to social rights, but that they account for the availability, accessibility and quality of health services that The State offers so that the population exercises its social rights, “the agency explained.
In addition, in accordance with the provisions of national and international regulations, so that public policies identify progressivity in the enjoyment of rights once the minimum access floor is exceeded, says the document.
The gap between the percentage of locations that are less than 10 minutes from the first level health clinic equals 20% in the entity with less and 97% in the state with more.
“When analyzing the gaps between federative entities it is important to take into account the extension and distribution of localities in the territory, so that public interventions are efficient and respond to the specific needs of the State,” said the Coneval.

The Coneval also documented that there are 115 social programs and actions directly linked to the right to health.
Therefore, the dimension that brings together a greater number of programs linked is accessibility. Of the 26 federative entities that have health -oriented interventions, in 16 it was identified that at least 40% of their social programs and actions are associated with accessibility.
“The state and municipal figures compiled in this compendium allow to deepen and clarify the national data that provide an incomplete panorama if the available information of the federal entities is not considered; for that reason, the level of disaggregation of disaggregation of The sources of information (national, state, municipal, locality, etc.), “said the agency.
It should be noted that the expectation is that this synthesis catalogs concrete actions in the federal entities that are reflected in the improvement of the diagnosis, prioritization and implementation of public policies that attend coverage and effective access to the right to health.
